This survey is flawed and the sponsors are biased. Did anyone take note that most of the sponsors are radically liberal groups, like the Tides Foundation supported by George Soros?
Flaws include:
1. SMALL SAMPLE SIZE: Only 616 people. 1100-1200 respondents for 300 million population of the US is required a much more accurate result statistically. How do we know if a truly random sample of the population was achieved? Without a truly random sample the whole survey is fatally flawed.
2. WORDING OF QUESTIONS: How you word questions in any survey affects the resulting answers. I found the framing of several questions to be suspect.
3. ASSUMPTIONS/PRESUPPOSITIONS OF SURVEYORS: It was clear to me after reading through the survey that the sponsors were looking for a particular result, and they (in their minds) found what they were looking for. They did not begin with open minds on the topic. Read through their introduction and even the title of the survey. You will see what I mean.
If Gallup or Rasmussen (two unbiased organizations of undisputed integrity) conducted this survey I suspect the results would be quite different. As-is, this survey is just rubblish.
