11. The Orlando Sentinel doesn't provide a link to the actual poll...

I did find the actual poll and it is much more telling than the Sentinel article. For example, "These broad views are based on those either very or somewhat satisfied, or very or somewhat dissatisfied. In terms of intensity, many more blacks are very dissatisfied, as opposed to very satisfied, with how members of their race are treated in society: 22% vs. 9%."

Here is a link to the actual poll which has the questions, the margins of error, how the poll was done (by telephone), who was polled (" All respondents had previously been interviewed in the Gallup Daily tracking survey.&quot .

When it comes to article citing polls, I wish they would provide a link to the actual poll in the article so readers can see all the data not just a subjective perspective and summary.
