Here is an example of how you can design a poll to pretty much say whatever you want it to.

"According to the poll, only 18% of the public say they or their families are better off now that the major provisions of the health care law have been implemented. Another 35% report that, while their lives have not improved, the Affordable Care Act has benefited other people in the U.S. Add those two numbers together, and that means 53% say that Obamacare has helped either their families or others across the country."

So only 18% of people say that Obamacare has benefited them or their family, yet the poll declares Obamacare a success because another 35% admitted that at least one person in the US benefited from the law.  

Unbelievable.  The scary thing is that most Americans will read that without seeing a problem with the statistics.

If they're relying on CNN polls for news they're already lost.
