I call foul on the survey. I note at the bottom where they say the survey was primarily conducted using in-person interviews. It also says the survey was done by University of Chicago professors. 1) Unless they jumped on planes and randomly flew around the country to find their 1500 people, I'm betting that the results are only from people in the Chicago area...wonder if that skewed things??
2) If they wanted to avoid the bias of Chicago area only (it did say primarily in-person), then they have to call. I rarely pick up the phone if I don't recognize the number and certainly don't participate in polls. Gee sir, I'm calling to do a poll. Do you have guns? How many? Where are they in the house...in a safe? Do you also keep valuables in your safe?? How do I know who is calling to ask these questions? Even if I did know it was a legitimate poll, I'm certainly not going on record by name and phone number to what I own.
3) Poll is funded by the National Science Foundation. I'm leery of anything presented by the gov't claiming something like this. Polls can be made to say a desired outcome if necessary. Just depends on the type and wording of questions asked.
