According to the Power of 10 website, they use Rasmussen Reports for their data collecting and processing.

The only problem is that Rasmussen reports posted the results of the poll on its own website, and the *ACTUAL* number was 36%:
“Currently, 36% of American adults take an entirely different view and believe that the troops should remain in Iraq until the mission is complete.”
I sent an email to Rasmussen and to Newsbusters asking them to address the discrepancy. I didn’t feel like wasting my time emailing CBS.
So C “BS” gets caught lying again...
If this is the correct answer, that means the girl on the show got shafted! She guessed between 16-36% which means she would have gotten $100,000.
If I had been the contestant and they threw me that percentage, my response probably would've ended up on the cutting room floor.
