Second poll!!! This time we didn't include a horse-race question, but instead asked three policy based questions. We included one on equal marriage rights, Medicare, and Social Security. The marriage question was not biased at all, just a simple, "Do you believe in equal marriage rights for all?" However, for Medicare and Social Security, we provided background information on what each plan is currently like and then asked whether it should be privatized, or funded/regulated by the government. While asking these two questions, I  was just a bit biased, emphasizing the cons of privatizing them. For example,the government's first priority is the care and safety of the people, and it will do what is best for them when it comes to health care and providing money in order to survive after one has retired, unlike private insurance companies who's first concern is a profit, and who can turn anyone away for any reason! The problem with people investing their own money into their own retirement is that many, many people don't have any clue at all on how to spend or save their money! Yes they should be responsible enough to figure it out, but if they have to pay someone to help them do it they might lose more money.
