Results reversed because many people were alerted to the existence
of the poll. With the sample size I saw (about 114 when I saw it)
this is not unusual. Give it time. When 6 or 700 results are in then
it will be more stable.
It is intellectually dishonest to cut and run just because the results
differ with your pre-conceived notions. The Poll was about what
people BELIEVE. Preventing the expression of belief does not
change the belief - let alone the truth.
You need courage.
