Ah, so "polling" means "their attitude towards a political candidate who voices a wide range of policy positions, which it may not be reasonable to assume uniform agreement with" ? This approach to "polling" also appears to ignore the fact that statistically speaking, almost half "the population" made the opposite choice. This makes sweeping statements about "what people want" based on this sort of thing pretty suspect. Of course, the claim could be true, nevertheless. This sort of "evidence" isn't really very salient, however.
