Of course, you have to wonder how the questions were phrased. Asking "Do you think Jewish control of the media distorts the news?" would probably reap a higher-than-it-should-be number of "Uh...yeah?" replies from a population that can't even pick out the Pacific Ocean on a world map, even when they're given multiple choice options.
Nod. As in that result a couple of years ago, when it seemed that a large number of respondents had doubts about the Holocaust, and it turned out to be a very poorly and awkwardly worded question.
I would like to see the poll.
On the other hand, I'm also following the news, and the poll gibes with what I've been seeing.
