This is a reproduction of some fairly epic ranting that I did on a remarkably heavy-handed Bloomberg National Politics poll that apparently dropped today. The short version: if there is a better example of how blatantly slanted questions can get the results that you want out of a poll, it is not immediately coming to mind. I don’t know who commissioned this particular survey, but whoever he or she was, he or she did the pollster no professional favors by demanding that particular wording. It’s pretty bad.
