Well, there's a suprise! Free Republic opinion reflects mainstream conservative opinion nationwide.

No, the surprise is that the poll seems to be reasonably accurate. Web polls are often notoriously easy to cheat.

You just cannot handle being an insignificant special interest group.

31% is hardly insignificant.

You should be happy that you have a 'big tent' to operate in within the Republican Party.

Yes. I'm very happy about that.

Don't be confused by the overall results. The "details" button reveals that the "No" vote has been fluctuating between 32% and 33% of registered freepers, where the other side is between 55% and 56%. The "No" vote is significant enough that there's been minimal gloating from the other side -- and probably a great deal of surprise.

What makes you think the all 31% share the same views as you?

For example, someone could have voted "No" because they would like to see a religion track in schools. Thus, creation would not be taught side-by-side with the theory of evolution.

As I commented to the mods, I think the questions were too narrow and don't do a lot to reach the intended result.
