It was Nadine was brought up the point that the result of polls depend upon the questions asked.

Yep, that's, of course, a part of the pollster lore. And is true.

I had in mind much earlier posts than the ones she referred me to in which she dismissed Palestinian polls because they took place in a "dictatorship." I see now from her more recent posts that she is using the word "suspect." I don't recall that word in the earlier posts. Perhaps "meaningless" was not her choice either in those earlier posts, but the context made her intent clear. She was dismissing the results of the poll.

she is more than willing to turn a blind eye on the methodology.

jcky, this is too pejorative and disrespectful, by commenting on motivations and such. Please try to moderate your remarks.
