Honest Poll Questions Make a Difference

Earlier this weekend, I posted on Patrick Ruffini's observations that honest poll questions show support for personal accounts in social security. Zogby has these poll results on questions about Schiavo's situation. This one in particular is interesting:

"If a disabled person is not terminally ill, not in a coma, and not being kept alive on life support, and they have no written directive, should or should they not be denied food and water," the poll asked.

A whopping 79 percent said the patient should not have food and water taken away while just 9 percent said yes.

That is almost 9 to 1 against starving her.
