'Would your opinion be the same if you knew he supports infanticide.' Would your opinion be the same if you knew he supports killing baby seals with clubs?' they use the 'poll' to spread lies about the subject. I would not be willing to do that.

The ones I have received were obviously professional polls from out of state, since they pronounced local people and places incorrectly.

In my state we have a town called Yachats, which I love. How would you pronounce it?
