no, technically not. but i have known enough human beings to tell you what the results are going to be. the only thing we are missing seeing is the small differences that reflect this particular group of voters.

re-arranging the questions the way you suggest will affect the way people thing about the poll. they will see both questions at once, instead of one after the other, and will then be more inclined to answer in a way that represents how they would like to think about it, rather than how they actually think. there could still be some of that happening, but people are less likely to go back and change their answer, once having read and considered the questions.

its just a flaw in the polling system.
