Hunch is the Methodology and the Q&A is being skewed buy whom ever is ordering these polls. Appears we are seeing the true bent of the Corporate Media and their thumb on the scale effects.

After all,it is all about the sentence structure of the questions asked. If you do multiple choice,answer options are the devil in the details,and in that poses the validity.

Another issue is the selection of who is the respondent target of your survey and how are they selected and from what source. We already know that any so called On-Line Polls are a joke.
