Twenty-nine percent of registered voters think that an armed revolution might be necessary in the next few years in order to protect liberties, according to a Public Mind poll by Fairleigh Dickinson University.

The poll, which surveyed 863 registered voters and had a margin of error of +/-3.4, focused on both gun control and the possibility of a need for an armed revolution in the United States to protect liberty.

The survey asked whether respondents agreed, disagreed, neither agreed nor disagreed or did not know or refused to respond to the statement: "In the next few years, an armed revolution might be necessary in order to protect our liberties"

Twenty-nine percent said they agreed, 47 percent said they disagreed, 18 percent said they neither agreed nor disagreed, 5 percent said they were unsure, and 1 percent refused to respond.
 
Right...it's obviously a seriously stupid question.

And anyone who seriously entertains thoughts of an actual armed revolt are just Right Wing fringe nut jobs.
given the very small number of responders and the 3 or 4 point difference, even 25% of 100 million gun owners should make anybody seriously take notice. that is 25 million people. what will you do about that?
 
the poll would need over 1000 respondants in order to have 95% confidence in the results. +-5%

that they claim 3% error is ridiculous
 
er I mean 95% confidence in a +/-5 interval can be done with around a sample size of ~300

i.e. this poll is fine.
