Actually the 65% result was asking if the senate should have passed that bill or not. It takes a lot of balls to accuse someone else of lying when you're trying to tell someone that when people said "should pass this bill" they meant "should not pass this bill".
Your real complaint is that the poll didn't give you the response that you wanted. If you feel that you can come up with a better worded question please do so. My prediction is that it will be incredibly biased, hopelessly unwieldly, double barreled, or something else.
Way to completely disregard my point. I guess poll accuracy is only important when it says Eskimopie it is.
To your challenge I can see two possibilities that would produce significant and meaningful results:
#1-same questions as Gallup, prefaced with a yes/no " Are you familiar with the contents of SBxxxx?" And present the results of that tree down the yes branch as "Of respondents who identified as familiar with the contents of the Senate Bill, xx% supported expanding background checks"
#2-rewrite the questions to explain what the bill entailed as it was far more in depth than simply "expand background checks". That is an objective, the senate bill was a process.
The poll as written expressed support for the objective, you're claiming it supported the process.
To your last point, are you claiming the RNC has an animatronic Pelosi? Because this is pretty clear and not out of context: Nancy Pelosi Pass the Bill to find out what's in : http://youtu.be/QV7dDSgbaQ0
