Question

In 2000 two organizations conducted surveys to ascertain
the public’s opinion on banning gay men from serving in
leadership roles in the Boy Scouts.
■ A Pew poll asked respondents whether they agreed
with “the recent decision by the Supreme Court” that
“the Boy Scouts of America have a constitutional right
to block gay men from becoming troop leaders.”
■ A Los Angeles Times poll asked respondents whether
they agreed with the following statement: “A Boy
Scout leader should be removed from his duties as a
troop leader if he is found out to be gay, even if he is
considered by the Scout organization to be a model
Boy Scout leader.”

One of these polls found 36% agreement; the other found
56% agreement. Which of the following statements is true?
A) The Pew poll found 36% agreement, and the Los
Angeles Times poll found 56% agreement.
B) The Pew poll includes a leading question, while the
Los Angeles Times poll uses neutral wording.

C) The Los Angeles Times Poll includes a leading ques-
tion, while the Pew poll uses neutral wording.

D) Both polls use neutral wording, so the different
results reflect sampling error.
E) Both polls contained leading questions, which may
explain the very different results.
