Yeah, I question most polls. You just can't trust their ability to word and administer the questions in an unbiased way, not to mention the ridiculousness of trying to extrapolate and weight samples of a couple thousand to the whole US. The only thing a poll tells you for sure is what those particular people thought about that particular question on that particular day. Anything larger than that is some sort of extrapolation, which is another word for speculation, even if it is educated.
We've seen this in exit polls - that's when I really started to pay attention to these things.
