gizaOh. Wait.

Allegations are already surfacing that the poll was rigged:

Now the important thing here is that the poll may have not been intentionally rigged. It may just be a crappy poll. But I think the post illustrates how the wording of polls and the placement of questions within each poll can influence the answers. Something to think about.

3. not all of the information regarding poll questions was shared.
