Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Explain that, in evaluating public opinion data, it is crucial to carefully evaluate how questions are posed, because even small differencesin question wording can sometimes produce significantly different results.
2, Analyze specific sections of this question, discussing why the question may force even ardent supporters of single-payer systems to answer no.
