You can get any kind of response you would like in a poll. It's all in the wording.

1. Would you like to pay $30,000 for your new Toyota? Yes 95%

or

2. Would you like to pay $30,000 plus $7,500 extra sales tax for your new Toyota? No 3%

Undecided. 2%

Yes, if you leave out critical information, a poll is bound to be skewed.

How about:

1) Would you prefer to pay $30,000 out of your $60,000 take home pay for your new Toyota ? 5%

or

2) Would you prefer to pay $39,000 out of your new $90,000 take home pay for your new Toyota ? 95%

(I changed your example to use the FairTax rate of 30% exclusive, so it would be $9,000 if the sticker price was $30,000.)
