Of course there was, for the same purpose you're using it for now, to claim the public approves of warrantless wiretapping when the poll DIDN'T ASK ABOUT IT. It's funny how you're so persnickety about exactly what the polls asked that found majorities disapproving of warrantless wiretapping, yet you blithely assume you know exactly what those who took the Post's poll had in their minds.
