Two different Gallup Polls were conducted for CNN/USA Today, both of which involved people's feelings about the U.S. space program. Here is a question from each poll, along with the responses of the sampled Americans:

a. Read the two poll questions. Which of the two wordings is more unbiased? Explain.
b. Look at the responses for the two different polls. How would you explain the large differences in the percentages either favoring or opposing the new program?
