Surveys have always been nonsense. I suppose if you are legitimately trying to find something out then that is one thing, but almost every group doing surveys has an ulterior motive. If the data starts looking bad for them, they just don't release it or they cherry-pick who they are talking to by how they gather the data. Either way, it is always skewed towards the advantage of whoever is paying the tab.
