this pie graph is a perfect example of why we shouldn't care what the average american thinks about complex issues.  47% of people disapprove of the healthcare law when 48% of people will readily admit they have no idea what is in it??  ARGH.

this is how i would run a poll:
question 1: name something in the new healthcare law.
[if unable to name something, stop the poll.  if able to name something, continue.]
question 2: do you approve or disapprove of the healthcare law?
