      <![CDATA[@Paul Bowers: I understand that this is just a snippet but by only including the "60 percent" quote, rather than both sides, you're still doing the same disservice that you are complaining about whether your final analysis is complete or not. It still leaves the question as to why you didn't choose to only include the "80 percent" quote instead of the "60 percent" quote if this is just published as a quick, unbiased look for your readers?<br>
<br>
I'm not saying that you've accused SCDOT of having an agenda but the message behind the CityPaper articles do seem to allude to this.

      <![CDATA[Does anyone else think the wording of the question is potentially confusing? I think it could be read as "this is going to be built, are you good with this route?" especially if you haven't been paying attention to the debate.

If so, aren't you doing the same thing that you're arguing against if you only report that the survey shows "On Wadmalaw Island (ZIP code 29487), for instance, the approval rating was only 60 percent."
