What is up with PPP lately?

First, they include George Zimmerman on a list of potential presidential candidates. Now, they ask, "Who do you think was more responsible for the poor response to Hurricane Katrina: George W.Bush or Barack Obama?" Your only options were to pick one of those two or "not sure". The result was Bush 28%, Obama 29%, not sure 44%.

Well what a stupid question. Who is more responsible for you beating your wife lately - George W. Bush, Barack Obama, or not sure?

So of course the results are used to say, look at the silly Republicans who don't know when Obama took office.

I know that sometimes surveys will include stupid questions to help identify the people who aren't reading the questions or paying attention. You can then exclude those people on analysis. Not sure if that's happening here or not...
