→Some areas which can invoke bias and skew the results of a poll:
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-poll19jan19,0,7952061,full.story?coll=la-home-nation </ref> and the fact that an Angus Reid poll taken in January 2007 says that 88% of the population believes Congress should allow funding for the troops currently there (combining the responses "allow funding for troops currently there" and "allow all funding for the war in Iraq" in the poll) <ref> http://www.angus-reid.com/polls/index.cfm/fuseaction/viewItem/itemID/14551 </ref> - Do you agree with the majority respondents in the USA Today poll taken in February 2007 which states that "6 in ten" oppose denying funding for the additional troops being sent to Iraq?" <ref> http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2007-02-12-troops-poll_x.htm </ref>

Democrats being polled with this question would be likely to think that bringing up their party's lack of a plan in the first part of the question prejudices the response about the subsequent statistics on troop support, whereas Republicans would not be likely to take equal offense. The responses could then be skewed because of party affiliation even though only proven and verifiable facts were being presented.
