Hey, Alceste... Based on your apparent propensity for making mountains out of molehills, that is - taking throwaway type comments meant in little more than thought provocative jest and transmogrifying same into lethargic and fruitless debates of precision, I don't think we shall get any closer to the truth by way of your presumed high minded insights. If you wanna believe polls, you go right on ahead sweety, far be it from me to impose upon your right. I'm going to end our boring back and forth now with this quote which I hope will confound you to the verge or reason: 

"It’s not true that you can tell within 3.2 percent what the American public thinks. Actually you can tell within 3.2 percent what the cooperating American public says and that’s different from the public that doesn’t cooperate. You don’t know much about them.” - Burns Roper
