My first opinion

When people are making points about a particular poll, they should provide us a link to that particular poll, rather than a link to someone else's interperation of that poll. For, the person who interperates this poll, may be twisting the data of the poll, when in fact the poll itself may provide us with a broader look on the subject matter. Essentially, let's just remove the middle man.

Example: Listening in on the "Spin Zone" after a debate, rather than just watching the debate.

A poll I conducted on this matter:
Should people directly cite their sources? or should they cite a source that cites their source?
Directly cite:
%100
Secondary source:
%0

What's more credible? A direct source or the hearsay?
Direct source: %100
Hearsay: %0


Here's a link to what I'm talking about
