interesting, dogzilla. so that poll repeated the terms specific to the conservative fiction that's replaced the reality of an islamic center that's to be built a few blocks from the center of the world trade center souvenir business. and it is about the power of framing, i'd say. once again the conservative media apparatus manufactures a story. they manufacture a way to package that story (patricia geller, fascist blogger with an islam Problem) and then the well-funded populist conservative media-space repeats that manufactured story ad infinitum. it makes its way into the mainstream press as a manufactured item initially, then as a Problem with the ultra-right---look at those racists and what they're doing---but the repetition seems to eventually acquire its own tipping point.
btw ramussen polls are done nightly. they're as shallow as shallow can be.
what you're seeing with the results is bounce-back of a television signal.
but hey, those results may be laughable but they makes the tea party's racism look like its just part of a more general racism.
so therefore it must be ok to be racist.
q.e.d., yes?
