I don't know anything about this particular poll - do you have more of a reference on it? I completely agree that these polls tend to have "leading questions" - in fact I've been most irritated with the ones I've seen from the Planetary Society (well, with the exception of the ridiculous polls we used to get from our congressman)... And of course the polls are not generally conducted scientifically - more as a way to get people to verify their mailing addresses and feel like they're interacting. I'll be dropping in on NSS HQ Monday so I'll ask. For what it's worth, the main NSS web site is outsourced and seems to be very hard to change... NSSchapters.org is run by volunteers who may also not get around to things for various reasons (my role with NSS is as president of a local chapter). Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by laziness, lack of communication, and inattention to detail :-)
