The vast majority of people in the USA (or any country for that matter) have no idea what is in almost any of the bills passed. The 70% against really only shows who had better propaganda.

What about 78% of people being against it when it's a poll taken at a website that provides the bill for reading?

A poll on a website (automatically very little credibility) and a bill so long that nobody visiting the website will actually read it. Thats far worse than even the polls showing 70%...

Except

A) You have to be a member to vote

B) It's a non partisian website.

C) To get to the vote you had to go to the specific page that outlined everything in the bill and hard links to all kinds of things.


There is no reason to go to that webpage unless you DID want to read the bill.

It is still strictly non-representative. It's a poll that targets only a small subset of the population, those who go to that website. There is no reason to believe that they represent the general population.
