Talk about skewed survey results!

But isn't 'mimic the party line' the political evaluation of the surveying
group?

If you start deleting reported values because of your perception that the
reporters are falsifying the data then you have just skewed the data
significantly. Granted it skews it the other way if you include data highly
reasonable to be 'inaccurate' too.
