Perhaps Fred, you have too much faith

In the candidates. We are at a point where all three major candidates have something to lose - who is going to answer honestly? McCain will not want to alienate the evangelicals any more than he already has. Barack and Hillary appear so similar policy-wise that voters have to decide on personality - and for them it is a double edged sword... If they answer too differently it might be _the_ blunder.
There is too much at stake to get honest answers right now, even if they truly wanted to give them and honestly tried to - their self interest would bias any responses you got. Could you trust data under those conditions from an average person? How about a person who job it is to spin information and distort perception to their favor?
