That survey was designed specifically to produce the results it

again.
Considering that there is almost no such thing as an unbiased
survey, this is hardly surprising. I don't think this negates the
value of the survey.
Well, this one was a lot more biased than most. I've seen less
leading questions in a partisan political survey.
Of course it compromises the value of the survey.
It is very difficult to perform a survey without compromises,
certainly, but to imply that bias is unimportant and doesn't affect
the survey's value runs counter to common sense.
