CNN and Their Bogus Poll Regarding Contraceptive Coverage

CNN just came out with a poll regarding the President's policy on contraceptive coverage in insurance plans:

50% Disapprove of the policy
44% Approve of the policy

HOWEVER, when you look at the question asked, no wonder this poll is different from all the others that came out this week:

As you may know, the Obama administration has announced a new policy concerning health
insurance plans provided by employers, including religious organizations, and how they handle birth
control and contraceptive services for women. Based on what you have read or heard, do you approve or
disapprove of this policy?


Notice how they didn't even explain the policy. What exactly did these people read and hear about it?

Here is a pdf link to the questions that were asked: http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2012/images/02/16/rel2g.pdf
