Many Catholics attend daily mass, so they are hearing three different readings each day...and can read along as well....we get a lot of scripture in our daily lives.

No doubt about it. But the Rasmussen survey is a statistical sampling of Catholics in America, hence it also includes those who DO NOT attend mass daily ( even those who seldom attend mass ).

I'm not sure where you get this. All I see is that it's a "Survey of 928 Adults Who Regularly Attend Church." Perhaps you have a subscription for the cross tabs?

But where's the agenda ? I don't see it in the poll itself. All I see is a DIFFERENCE in emphasis.

A difference if emphasis is a bias. That's how you bias a poll, by the questions you ask. Here's a link to the questions:

"pray to confess sins" ? WTH is that? I could attribute it to ignorance, but almost all the questions aren't relevant Catholic's practice of their faith.

Perhaps it is the title that's misleading: If it were "Catholics Don't Do Sola Scriptura, OSAS or Easy Believerism" it would be more accurate.   :)

S&F, the poll is a blatant Protestant poll. They should have left the comparison part out of it.
