This is supposed to be an accurate poll?  If I respond "against," does that
mean I favor immediate unilateral disarmament, or what?  If I respond
"for," does that mean that I enjoy the idea of killing millions?

You might try rewording your poll question so that it asks for some
meaningful information.  Unloaded questions are best.  Don't bother asking
questions like "what do you think of the criminal nuclear arms race started
and maintained by the fascist Reaganite administration?"

But on second thought, don't bother.  You might succeed in hiding your
no-nukes bias to the point where you would fool a few people with your
"poll."
