Reply #7: How Will You Interpret My "No" Answer If I Choose To Answer "No"?? [View All]

Does "NO" mean that I think he should have stayed in with a full fledged campaign?

Or...

Does "NO" mean that I think that if he's going to drop out, he should have dropped out entirely and not half-way?

P.S. Nothing personal MagicRat... I know you're not a professional pollster... but this is an excellent example of the type of things that are wrong with polls. Whether the questions are intentionally vague or whether they are poorly phrased... whether the person answering the poll question misunderstands them, or whether the one doing the analysis purposely twists the results out of context... these types of things aren't fully addressed in the +/-4% margin of error disclaimers.
