A literal reading is "I am not currently owning a hybrid electric car, . . ." which is where I had a problem. I am currently owning a hybrid electric car. So in one sense, I'm disqualified from answering #32. However, this is not a test, it is a 'survey' and like hand grenades and horseshoes, close enough works. <grins>

It would be a perfectly fine question without the qualifier. But this starts to approach the fuzzy boundary of a 'push poll' that tries to educate. Other than this one question, it is a perfectly reasonable poll and well crafted. I'd give the author at least a B+ up to an A in design. The final grade is dependent upon the rigor of the analysis.

I remain interested in seeing the results.
