You really believe that is the way Gallop conducts their polls? Go read the questions they actually did ask.

Pollsters have used this tactic for years. I admit I don't know if that Gallop poll did. But, your constant trumpeting of the middle group who are basically "pro-life" but support abortion in some cases leaves the poll open to such criticism. Plus, your attempt to approbate the entire group in that middle ground to the "pro-choice" side is dubious. Only 26% of those polled believe in abortion for any reason at any time. It would be just as easy to say the pro-choicers are in the minority.

BTW, I just finished the first volume of Ian Kershaw's masterful biography of Adolf Hitler. As the final chapter came to a close, Hitler had just militarized the Rhineland and called for new elections. The people voted for him and his party at a rate of 98.6%. I guess they were right, too.
