It seems to me that this happened a lot during the last election too.<br /><br />Its not that polling is an un useful tool, of course it has uses, but its not the be all and end all of any campaign, and certainly will have many variations based on how the question is asked, when it is asked and of course "what question is asked"<br /><br />Basically the last election was "who would you rather have? cameron or Milliband with alot of sturgen" and look who won, albeit narrow.<br /><br />the EU ref is turning more from a leave/remain in the EU question to a question asking "will you let the PM negotiate a better deal?" question.<br /><br />you see the question asked is not always the question answered.<br /><br />so to publish results in this way is down right dishonest, and as you pointed out before even if 20% of muslims did (which they dont) support DA'ESH, than that of course leaves 80% who most certainly don't.<br /><br />How you frame a question is everything, and how you report the answer is more so.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373005279697295131noreply@blogger.com
