I checked out the links and you do use the word "suspect," and then treat them as genuine polls. Which is fine. I have no quarrel with that. All polls are subject to a great many variables including the tendency of subjects to wish to give the answer they think the interviewer wants. Good pollsters can guard against that. And, in situations in which subjects have reason to fear government authorities, there is still more reason to suspect them. You have made the above points before. And, in some posts much further back than the ones to which you just referred me, treated the results of the Palestinian polls as "meaningless." I'm not certain you used that term but the argument of your post was intended to dismiss the poll results.
