Don't worry Blue - this is not a real poll. (I was formerly in the market research industry so I am familier with the process).

A real poll would have contacted a cross-section of Americans and would have had quotas for gender, age, and other demographics.

This poll is completely biased towards people who vist the time.com web site and choose to answer the question. They could have posted the poll here at Pet Talk and it would have had the same amount of validity.

However, the fact that this is being treated as "news", shows the sorry state of the current media.
