Fred recently used a poll widget on his blog in order to find out whether or not his readers talk or text on cellphones while driving. And Rose desperately cites any poll she can dig up that might indicate that the President’s popularity is slipping (though I doubt that she thought much of polls during Bush’s second term).
I find that polls are good and accurate if one agrees with the results, and flawed and unreliable if the verdict is at odds with one’s own opinions.

I don't like your poll, I want maybe, as in how it is worded, and how it is conducted/who responds.

I think they are fun, though not reliable. They provoke thought, too. A little stirring of the brain cells is useful now and then.

I think a more appropriate poll would have been:
I never respond to polls
Yes
No

I carefully crafted the question in order to subtly shape the result.

"I don't like your poll, I want maybe, as in how it is worded, and how it is conducted/who responds."
Anyone care to translate this?

Tôi không thích cuộc điều tra của bạn. Nên có một sự lựa chọn cho "có thể." Như thế nào trong cuộc khảo sát này được viết, làm thế nào khảo sát được tiến hành, và những người được tiến hành khảo sát.
