is anybody looking at the sampling errors on some of these questions? some of them are up to 8.5% sampling error. while it's been awhile since my last statistics class, 8.5% borders on a worthless sample doesn't it? if you can't get down to a 2.5% – 3.5% sampling error you really shouldn't publish the poll. a 17 point spread is hardly reliable data.
