Of course if you look at it that way, it's always going to look favorable that the glass is half empty. That's almost like saying a majority of Canadians have voted in a minority Conservative government but underlining the point that the majority didnt vote for them.
Whenever you present a majority of poll choices representing there should be something done about the thread (3) versus one that says no, dont do anything (1), you're always going to get a little more votes towards the "yes" vote because the human mind naturally wants to pick a more moderate choice.
when you present the poll as "should we do something about that thread?" as a 50/50 yes or no question, you'd get a much accurate result
