Reading Polls

„Der SPIEGEL“ (the maga­zine, not the web­site) had an arti­cle about ger­mans and their rela­ti­onship to chris­tian faith. Part of this arti­cle was a poll: Which per­sons or orga­ni­sa­ti­ons do you trust ? Now, we all know that poll results tend to be ske­wed, espe­cially in terms of the ques­ti­ons asked.
