Do you know where one might find the various questions actually used by the pollsters and the nature of the sample populations? The way the questions are written and presented, as well as the sample populations, can make a whopping difference in the "conclusions." As you know polls are statistical concoctions and not always random in statistical methodologies -- to often they are intentionally skewed to produce a desired result while appearing very "scientific."

Thanks for the useful link to realclearpolitics.com. An interesting source indeed.
