It is just an old poll. I don't think it is relevant. Public opinion doesn't mean much in authoritarian countries. It is what the Vietnamese government is doing that would reflect what they really think. It is more likely that Vietnam is playing both sides and try to appease both China and the US. But no way they are an ally or even a potential one.
