I'm not relying only on polls, but on experience and paying attention to what goes on around me in my own country. Yes, people lie in polls, as I already wrote. I'm a lawyer, and I hope you can understand that I'm responding to comments in this blog during the work day, in between juggling legal matters. Thus, I don't have time to sit here and research statistics or data for every issue raised. Or provide detailed analysis of them. However, I try to answer almost every comment here, because I respect my readers and don't wish to ignore them like most other bloggers do...racists, bigots, homophobes - they are here in the USA, the same as everywhere on the globe. I never stated otherwise.
