Because that is all they can do.
The sample sizes, how the samples are chosen, the lack of a control group, the phrasing of leading questions in polls, all of these things that make me dismiss Pew are beyond that capacity to comprehend for those who would defend them.
It's a sordid push poll hack outfit. And it has been for decades.
This article is actually an example of their less poorly executed endeavors.
