The results of the poll are of no real concern to me. I said the conclusions drawn are reasonable based upon the poll, but as I pointed out, “No poll can be really “objective” as the pollster is a questioner not a mind reader so a poll where you would write the questions would be no better.”

What I do find most objectionable is your comments about an article spinning a poll you hadn’t even read, and then when you claim something demonstronably wrong suddenly the poll and questions you had no “beef” with minutes before are now somehow skewed with buzz words.

And now you say I’m doing what you claim you’re not!
If you’re looking for flaws look to your own comments.

I disagree that the conclusions drawn are reasonable, based on the numerous objections I’ve outlined. I think it’s fair to criticize an article about a poll based on what’s in the article, especially when it doesn’t link to the poll; it shouldn’t be my job as the reader to do extra research to see if the article could be accurate if I take other things into account. I’ve been clear from the beginning that I didn’t have a problem with the questions reported in the article, but only with the spin the article gave them; but that I did have a problem with the other question in the full poll. I’m sorry if these kinds of distinctions are lost on you, but I can’t really do anything about that.
