If it were up to me I'd be funding those "multiple consistent polls" out of my own pocket; my own pocket not being up to that right now, I have to take advantage of the only poll in recent memory which has bothered to ask this question.
Although people have been making political hay about this poll around the blogosphere, for me this isn't about politics, it's personal. I was glad when they released the full results from Mississippi because I thought it was unfair to put out ones singling out Republicans without context. I'll be even more glad if they do polling on this subject in blue states, because I think it'll still be unfair until they poll everywhere. (More importantly, I want to see numbers for places I spend lots of time in.)
You're welcome to your view on the value of this poll. But that doesn't mean it's going to lack value for me.

Re: I find the whole concept of this poll highly offensive.
