The poll is not biased. That's like saying the election results are biased because not everyone understands what they're voting on. The only thing that seriously skews the poll results is that they did not look into if there's a difference between people who vote and people who don't in terms of their opinions. The fact the results are not as we would ideally like them to be, however, does not make the poll biased. It simply shows that 70% of people don't visit blogs - that doesn't mean that those people don't and won't show support for politicians who espouse a particular agenda regarding the censorship of blogs. That's the real danger as I see it: that so few people know what they're takling about - and they freely admit it - yet they feel qualified to form an opinion regarding someone else's freedoms anyway.
