Yeah, it's a bad poll, for a lot of reasons. Bad question, bad choices. And it's just one guy, apparently independent of any polling company, conducting the survey. This isn't Ipsos-Reid or StatsCanada conducting the poll. Any poll that has just two choices (and a 'don't know') isn't going to tell you anything meaningful. If you added a third choice that was 'sometimes good, sometimes evil', I would guess that the vast majority of teens would chose that option. But that approach, while more statistically accurate, doesn't create the sort of extremes that the media loves to get from pollsters.
