    The poll was done a month ago, let’s see how it plays out after recent 170k mobilization.

    I saw some article about polling in the last week or two where a lot or maybe most of the people who now wanted peace still didn’t think they should give up Crimea.

    Feels like a very have your cake and eat it too kinda stance. “We didn’t do anything wrong but the consequences of our actions suck so we should prob tone it down… but to reiterate, we weren’t in the wrong”

    When a poll shows that Russians support the war, people are saying that Russians are bad. But when a poll shows that Russians don’t support the war, people are questioning the poll.

      The responsible thing to do is question everything because there is so much propaganda and advertisement everywhere

      The overall result is probably not very accurate but if the methodology has not changed then you could try to gauge something based on change from poll to poll.

      There was an interesting methodology I read about. Basically, they read 4 statements and asked how many (not which!) the interviewee agreed with.

      Then they did the same thing with 5 statements, where the 5th was what they actually wanted to find out. With a large enough sample size on both and the power of math, they can essentially deduct test 1 from test 2 to find out how many people agree with the 5th statement without anybody outing themselves to the FSB.
