Hate to tell you this, but a "poll" like this is meaningless. Well, maybe
not meaningless, but with a sample that small, for it to have statistical
significance the members of the group have to be randomly selected. The
respondents here were clearly self-selected. The results of the poll should
be more properly read as "*Some* of the people don't like roadless forests."
