Why would anyone waste their time polling teens? They think they know everything and refuse to listen to any adult. They are the most gullible and more dangerous at that point than any time in their life.
And of course some Freeper is going to post how “their” teen in not like that. Spare me.
The reason for polling is to gauge the effectiveness of leftist propaganda efforts. Normally, this is done by press and media outlets for their own internal measure of effect. A newspaper or news network will run several days of slanted stories which defy factual truths, and then they will take a poll to see if their efforts in skewing public opinion were successful. In the instance of this particular poll, the pollster is assessing the degree of indoctrination that has taken place among a new generation of students who have been force-fed over their schooling years multiple showings of the movie An Inconvenient Truth [sic].
There is a Biblical example of this where Jesus was brought before Pontius Pilate. Based on the factual evidence, the Roman governor found Jesus to be innocent. Yet based upon the latest poll of public opinion, Jesus was deserving of punishment. And it was the Pharisees and priests who formulated that public opinion through their own propaganda efforts, and then measured their own effectiveness by assessing the crowd before finally going to Pilate.
