There's some good news in there and bad news in there. Unfortunately I think the bad news is worse than the good news is good.

Sadly, I agree.

Thanks a lot- it only helps to confirm the low esteem I have right now for the populus.  Maybe I just depressed.

But a sample of 1003 of how many million in this country?

Where the respondents distributed uniformly over the country or by region, or by population density?

If this was a telephone survey, what time of the day? If day time that excludes a large proportion of the working population.

Yes I'm sceptical of surveys.

I suspect there's a link to their methodology. This survey has been around for awhile. The sample size doesn't seem unreasonable to me, though. Sounds about right for this sort of survey.
