There is a vast difference between what the poll question actually said and what people are interpreting the results to mean. People keep talking about 72% of Americans favoring encryption backdoors or favoring "a ban on 'uncrackable' encryption" [MSNBC], neither of which were mentioned in the poll question.
If the poll had mentioned anything about banning strong encryption or guaranteeing the government a legal right to read your personal email, the results would probably have been very different.
