Presumably you are not a professional pollster who was polling everywhere in each city in Crimea:
Moreover, in a more recent Razumkov Center survey (from December 21-25 2013), while substantial minorities endorsed either Crimean independence (35 percent) or joining another state (29 percent), a majority (56 percent was opposed to either of the political options involving Crimeas separation from Ukraine. Of course, it is anyones guess how these proportions have been affected by the events of the past two months in the context of a highly partisan political and informational environment.

There was a greater degree of support for annexation in Crimea than anywhere else, but not the 90 or so percent with alleged "record turnout," which would mean that the Tatar population voted en mass to be annexed too.
Who am I to argue with a Washington Post blog and a Freeper who I believe it is safe to conclude has never set foot in Ukraine?
I guess my observations from actual interactions with the locals and many visits to the region must've been a figment of my own imagination.
