How do consumers feel about this? When asked by the JCOC survey if recent arrests have adversely altered their perception of the diamond and jewelry industry in general or of New York's 47th Street specifically, 61% of consumers surveyed said no, with 31% unsure, and only 8% indicating their opinion has changed for the worse.
I reiterate and extrapolate..
If I think they are all scumbags already, how is my opinion "adversely affected"?
This is a professionally crafted pollster's question..
It is designed to present the poll results in the best possible light regardless of the answers recieved.
So why hire professional pollsters in a cut and dry case of terrorism when the moneyman-jeweler pled guilty if not to manipulate public opinion.
