Poll Idea

Someone wants to do a poll, and use it as an instrument to convince the populace that their prime minister is not to be trusted.

I think this series of questions not only will elicit information about the thinking of those polled, but will hopefully plant doubt into their minds so that the very act of conducting the poll and the gathering on statistical information will bring about a change of thinking.

Here's how I would phrase the questions and in what order:-

1. Do you support the so-called Disengagement plan?
2. If yes, did you vote for Amram Mitzna in the last election or Ariel Sharon?
3. Do you think PM Sharon was right to fire two ministers even before they
had a chance to vote in the government on the Disengagement Plan?
4. Do you think that the demographic situation is the real reason for
Sharon promoting this plan?
5. Do you think terror will cease or decrease after Disengagement?
6. Do you think America will stop pressuring Israel for further retreats from
the territories?
7. Do you think the Arabs have given up on the "right of return"?
8. If you have answered 'no' to the last four questions, do you still support
the so-called Disengagement plan and why?
9. Dop you think the media should term the plan as one of expulsion or uprooting
rather than Disengagement?
10. Do you believe a national referendum should have been conducted?
