The sample size is huge relative to though so the poll likely does reflect the CP population that have accounts. I suspect there isn’t really any self-selection bias in the sample vs the population.
The poll design certainly biases toward neutral because it has the closest to a factual statement as its qualifier rather than subjective statements.
I mentioned this earlier but all polls should not have the reason attached. Let the Thread be used for justification.
