Problem is they mostly offer some really bad choices which virtually force an answer that is usually what the pollster or their backers wanted in the first place.
Many times I have given alternate answers as the options were not accurate enough that the pollster stops in the middle, thanks me and moves on.
I do find it strange that the congressional approval ratings nearly doubled in the last few weeks/months according to the poll you posted.
I agree. Polls are never accurate enough. I almost always want to answer differently than any of the choices given.
