That is what a poll is, a sampling of a group, then added into a mathematical equation to get a general percentage.

Well when a guy on the terror watch list goes back and forth out of the country then blows up the Boston marathon what safety are we getting? Not much. Oh sure we are safe from somebody attacking us with nail clippers on a plane flight. Yippee.

Lol yea lets just ignore all the attacks our security prevented since 9/11.

We get it friend you're never going to be happy, we could give you all your precious rights back and you'll still find something to complain about.

Not exactly a very good poll as its too general. Some may thnk it one thing and some another the are wilig to so called give up.Likely its one of those polls used more to see who reading their site for purposes of viewership with that type of question. Done all the time after a event that people will vote on such polls if they see them.
