The Iran Issue and the Exploitation of Ignorance

by Paul R. Pillar
Polls of American public opinion on the agreement to restrict Iran’s nuclear program have produced widely varying results. One can find polls to support whatever position one would like to portray as the prevailing public view on this issue. Poll results on this subject are especially sensitive to the wording of the question that is asked. This has meant fertile ground for push-polls, in which questions are worded in a way designed to bring about the result that the sponsor of the poll seeks.http://www.lobelog.com/the-iran-issue-and-the-exploitation-of-ignorance/#more-30676
