#5 15% consider the US an Evil Empire? I can imagine disagreeing with policies, but that's just delusional. What are the odds that 15% of respondents consider themselves Communists?

#6 Evil Empire?
No way. We're the Sleepy Empire you don't want to wake up cause if you do you will long for the Evil Empire.

#7 Yay for Labour supporters.

Indeed. Bizarrely, the Guardian don't make any reference to the opinions of Tory voters. Although they do say the Lib Dem (today's most left of the three main parties) voters were most anti.

Like the infamous recent threats to world peace poll, though, this one doesn't seem to me to reveal anything definite at all. I'm sure there are many people who want Bush to come to the UK in order to be humiliated, and there are those who don't want Bush to come because the behaviour of the anti-Bush circus freaks may well embarrass both Bush and the UK. I don't think you can read much into the results of this poll.

#8 Should qualify that and say that only applies to the one question - regarding whether or not the pollsterees supported the President's visit. The other US = force for good question and the responses seem as though they can be taken at face value, and the generally positive response is very good to see.

The Guardian don't quote the actual questions though. Very shoddy reporting, IMO, but all too common nowadays.
