I would be very torn on how to respond to a survey that asked me if I agree with "All lives matter". On the face it's clearly a true statement, almost tautological, but it's commonly used with tons of subtext I disagree with. Let's say for a moment everyone feels exactly like me, and a poll get a 50/50 split. Or 25/75. Or 90/10. You haven't really learned anything about people's attitudes beyond how literally they chose to interpret the question. That's what people are saying with this question. It's too loaded for a simple yes no. Saying the 72% who agreed aren't aware of the connotation is just an invalid conclusion as any other. No doubt at least some of them pondered it, and decided to respond to the literal text. There's too much gray here to draw ANY conclusions from the poll.
