As a fan of this book <https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51291.How_to_Lie_with_Statistics>, I'd like more detail about your statistics.
How was the sample gathered? What were the survey questions? How was your sample randomized? What was the size of the sample population? What does 'as high as 85%' mean? What was the distribution? Is your result statistically significant? On a philosophical note, if you say I am supposed to think for myself, why are you telling me what other people think? Best, Rich (Speaking for myself...)
