Of course not. But the people responding to the poll can't make a choice
not already listed in the poll, except "none of the above".
And also yes, to varying degrees the poll predecides the answers.
Anyone who has ever worked for a political campaign knows how easy it is
to sway responses by how the options are worded, even if the person
writing the poll isn't consciously trying to "predecide" responses.
People will actually answer the same question - repeated again with
different phrasing - and give the exact opposite of the answer they gave
the first time. Different phrasing makes us think of different
considerations.
