Duelling Polls

We all remember the polls that we saw on television concerning the Terri Schiavo case that basically showed that the only people in the country that wanted Schiavo to live were congressional Republicans, right?

Well, now we have this poll (conducted by Zogby) that found the following:

"If a disabled person is not terminally ill, not in a coma, and not being kept alive on life support, and they have no written directive, should or should they not be denied food and water," the poll asked.

A whopping 79 percent said the patient should not have food and water taken away while just 9 percent said yes.


I'm not saying it's right or wrong. It does make me wonder how those other polls were worded.
