roach -
I'll go one further - I had a few beers with a guy who was pretty high up in a polling company. He admitted in absolute terms that the structure of the question asked could be modified to affect the results. His polling company was pretty well known, and he didn't say they ever actually did this, just that it could be done:
Basically,
1)"What do you want the poll to be about?"
2)"What do you want the results to be?"
"Thanks, we'll get right on that..."
So, you can't trust any poll taken by people who have interest in the results - and that's pretty much all of them.
