POLL FINDS MINIMAL APPROVAL, MAJOR CONFUSION OVER AQUEDUCT VLT DEAL
Sometimes polls lie, but when they are as lopsided as the recent Siena poll on the Aqueduct racino ’situation’, it’s hard to ignore the results. Only 3% called the contract ‘fair and appropriate’, a third of the voters felt it was ‘politically motivated’ and 64% didn’t have enough information. While that is a large unknown, 33-3 is a blowout under any circumstance. To put it perspective, on the 25th anniversary of his death, 7% of Americans still believed Elvis was alive.

—————–
Yes polls do lie.
Even those originating from Sienna Research Institute.
The Daily News article gives no details on how the polling process was implemented.
Votes processed online can easily be tampered with by unscrupulous individual(s).
The truth is still the truth even if you are a minority of one.
But that does not make the 7% of “Elvis is alive” voters correct on that issue.
