Well of course they're assuming. That's part of what all this nonsense of polls and statistics is about.

I agree with Mark Twain (who supposedly attributed this to Voltaire or someone like that): "There are lies, damned lies and statistics."
You are taking this quote to the extreme, and youve repeated this statement in response to scientifically conducted studies and polls.

When they are conducted scientifically they are accurate to within their margins of error. Look up any Polls conducted about the presidential elections and youll see they are very very accurate.

Now this may not jive with the "book of twain" you carry around, but it most certainly is true
