This is the result of 4 generations of under-educated but fully-indoctrinated children who were allowed to grow-up without becoming adults: the "Cult of Alinsky."

A - There are legitimate polls, randomized, respondents representative of the population.

B - There are push polls where the linguistic framing of questions is known to drive a desired response and change the beliefs of a respondent.

C - There are polls on subjects with known rightthink and wrongthink where respondents will lie to pollsters when they believe a 'wrong' answer will make them sound like 'bad' people to the questioner, but retain their 'wrong' beliefs.

D - There are polls that are fictional, narratives being pushed with completely made up numbers, non-randomized samples intended to make people believe a subject is popular or unpopular.

That French travel poll is some combination of B, C, and D. I'm leaning towards D.
