    Come on people, calm down. Polls like these should never be taken seriously because they are usually an over-estimation or under-estimation of what the true sentiment of the population is. Most people who take the time out of their day to respond to these polls are people who tend to have a very strong opinion on the matter. People who are neutral in the matter tend to not take the survey and thus the results end up being very biased one way or the other. Also, the article doesn't describe how "random" the sample is such as demographics, education level, age, etc., and the fact that the poll was taken a month after a perceived negative event by the Japanese takes away from the neutrality of the survey. There is also no mention of a confidence interval and margin of error which leads me to believe there is a large sampling error.
