      These polls are as idiotic as the Brexit Referendum was.

      People have no fucking clue what’s going on and they answer by their “gut feeling”. So it’s all down to the way the question is formed.

      And it’s not a “yes” or “no” type of situation either.

        So your argument is what exactly? That the poll is flawed… so there isn’t a majority or plurality? You realize that both for and against could have been answering by their “gut feeling”… a 50/50 split kind of proves the point that it’s not just a few thousand like was claimed.

        Of course if you have a better source showing that Americans are happy with spending more money in Ukraine that’s of higher quality I’m all ears.

          My argument is that linking a shitty poll that paint the issue in black or white does nothing to help to paint the picture of public opinion on the russia’s attack on Ukraine and how people feel about it.

            Can you show how the poll is misrepresenting it as a black/white issue?

            Do you have ANY better statistical resource?

              Can you show how the poll is misrepresenting it as a black/white issue? I can, but you don’t seem to be genuinely interested, so I’m not going to waste my time.

              Do you have ANY better statistical resource? No, but sometimes no resource is of more quality than a misleading poll.

                Sounds like that’s a no then…

                No, but sometimes no resource is of more quality than a misleading poll.

                If you can provide any evidence that it’s misleading… I’ll take it. But you’ve failed to do so and continue to whinge about it even though you’ve got nothing better to replace the poll as evidence.

                    You don’t respond well at all… When asked for anything to defend your stance, you got bumpkiss nothing.
