Graphic with the latest poll results. So much for a "center right" country. (party affiliation, suspect)

Since you claim to have received an "A", then maybe you can connect the dots from the
"Who is to blame"
questions asked, to the OP's claim that the country isnt center right. The questions had nothing to do with left/right.. Questions had nothing to do with where one stands on a political spectrum..
Considering that right considers Obama to be an ideological marriage of everything from Hitler to Mao, agreeing with him even a little bit would make one at the very least as ultra left as... Joe Hill.

I was referring to how polls are conducted. I do not speak for the OP.

(sorry I was listening to Robeson)
Considering that the political spectrum isnt left or right, its more of a triangle, I'd say lumping everyone who disagrees with Obama as "right" is just pathetic, especially considering that we have such evidence like "the birthers" who are indeed left, Hillary Clinton supporters..
Excuse me? Someone asked 1,005 people some questions and then extrapolated that to "prove" what a nation of almost 300 million thinks? Evidently, the tinfoil hat brigade has been active.

Math is hard.
That being said, I'd like a link as well. There can easily be a multitude of problems with the poll, but sample size isn't one of them.
You two need to take basic statistics. It isn't hard. I got an "A".
The fact that you took "basic statistics" doesn't justify the fact that you can't tell what 300 million people think based on the opinions of 1,000. That's called "common sense," and I got an A in that.
And as a couple of other posters pointed out, we don't know who those thousand-and-five people were. Were they rich people, poor people, Democrats, Republicans, easterners, westerners. Were they even American citizens, for heaven's sake? Do you have any idea, and if so, why are you keeping it a secret?
Any poll question that starts with "Regardless of how you usually vote..." is inherently flawed and pretty much renders the rest of the poll of the same people worthless.
Who amongst us could actually set aside ideological partisanship 100% to answer a poll, but not set it aside for any other reason, such as supporting candidates and fighting ideological battles?
Flawed from the beginning and holds no water in my opinion.
