America and its scientists: we're proud of, but don't believe them

Oh, come on! This is such bs polling.
Just look at something like “Safe to eat foods grown with pesticides”. The food is safe for . . . ? It’s safe for the environment, and so okay to eat? It’s safe for other animals? The wiggle room that someone could inhabit when they answer that is substantial.
Or “Favor increased use of fracking”. To do what? Against what standard? Because it’s safer, more efficient, better for the environment, more profitable, does fun things to tap water that allow me to sell more bottled water?
This poll allows people who thing they are pro-science to feel superior, but it uses some tricksy questioning to get there.
