Yes, it's a new poll on the same topic, reworded to get a different result about the same subject.

Then we can use this as proof of how easily polls can be manipulated.

I noticed the new poll and posted it. The funny thing about it is that from the "old" poll the percentage numbers didn't change but the question did. Am I imagining this??

Absolutely. One must a) read the bill the poll is about and b) analyze the poll question carefully.

I don't know. What I do know is that they started another poll on the same topic, but reworded it to achieve a different result. People overwhelmingly supported restrictions on ethnic studies in schools. Yet people are about 50/50 on the "right of students to learn about their ethnic history at school".

I don't think public school funds should be spent on any "ethnic history" except American Ethnic History.
