Lemme guess....another fine YouGov poll?

They openly admit that they were trying to mislead surveyed people with their wording. These results were taken as tribalism on both sides:
The results were 20% yes, 53% no, 27% no opinion. Turns out the "creation theory" in question was the Big Bang Theory. No one calls the Big Bang Theory a "creation theory". Overall, I'd call this a shit poll that isn't good for anything beyond a chance to clutch at pearls.
Edit: How could I miss it! It's a troll poll!
