No...the poll is illegitimate because the questions that were asked were not true to begin with (how can you correctly answer a question that is incorrect?), and the questions were posed in such a way as to elicit a certain response:

If you were a McCain supporter, and the question asked: "Did John McCain start his political career in the living room of two former members of the Weather Underground?" you would answer no also...because 1) McCain did not start his political career in the living room of two former members of the Weather Underground, and 2) If you did not know the answer, you would say 'no' because you don't want to associate your candidate with a subversive movement.

The questions were formulated to elicit a specific response from a majority of those polled. They were engineered well.
