That question is do poorly written. It invalidates the poll: "do you favor or oppose..." it doesn't address which. See? -- nm - mobile browsing loves mandy lane Jun 8, 07:46 9
- I'd be willing to bet the question as asked was worded in the "agree/neither agree nor disagree/disagree" fashion pollsters seem to like. - mafic Jun 8, 07:58 3
  - though if the poll was respond to "DADT should be repealed." it opens up a whole new can of worms. - mafic Jun 8, 08:02 2
    - "Isn't it not true that you don't not want DADT to not be repealed?" -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 08:06 1

- I don't understand your concern. Why is the question flawed? - TWuG Jun 8, 07:52 3

    - I would bet the options were Favor/Oppose/Not Sure. If the options were yes/no, the poll is useless. -- nm - ty97 Jun 8, 07:57 1
      - Especially with the results posted in % Favor. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 8, 07:58
- "yes." -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 07:47
I saw that. There's really no reason to delay killing it now. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 07:42 4

      - My argument was (and remains) that Obama supporting gay marriage would be damaging to his re-election. -- nm - ty97 Jun 8, 07:50
