I really wish you would link your stories you f'ucking hateful bigot.
I know enough to know that any survey/poll company that puts out a poll for the media (example Ipsos Reid with the Associated Press) tend to know exactly how many people they speak to. They record male/female right off the bat. They have quotas set up for male/female also quotas for regions of the country. They then have statistical questions at the end. How old are you, how much do you make etc.
That way at the end they can break it down even further for the client. Males 18-24 said this where as Males 35-44 said "x". People in this state approve more than people in this state.
Hell the companies even keep track of the calling information for their own purposes. We had so many refusals, so many quit survers, so many completes etc. Everything is recorded and put down.
For a poll to come out and not have number of people spoken to or other information available reaks of poor form and questionability. Of course its not linked and I'm not going to track down the story so whatever. It's a shame the ardent crusader agaist the 'moral majority' is to f'ucking stupid to figure out to put a link up.
