Comment on Poll: Date settled – Surge in support for Australia day from young Australians continues
Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 4 days agoThe IPA is a right-wing think tank that pretty much exists to mislead the public, so take this data with a grain of salt.
Yeah I could tell but it looks like the polling was done by independent polling company:
The IPA has today released a new poll of 1,011 Australians, undertaken by independent marketing research firm Dynata, on their views about our national day.
So I assume how it works is, they get this company do ask a bunch of questions on a bunch of topics they want to push, if the poll results come back negative for them (eg. more people are concerned with climate change than before) they just discard it, and if they come back positive they then publish it

I'd like to know if the wording of the questions was leading in any way.

Roy Morgan polling found ~70% support for for ‘celebrating Australia day on the 26th of January’, but only around 59% for ‘Australia day should not be moved from the 26th of January’.
