Need your help! Short political survey

Thank you so much to those of you who replied to the survey!!! This is truly going to be more fun and interesting with more data. I'm sorry to those of you who had a hard time understanding the "Do you agree with X, or not?" questions but this is my first survey. One of the things that the specifically teach us is that if you ask the question as "Do you agree that X?" the person taking the survey will be more likely to mark "agree" without much thought. However, if you ask "Do you agree or disagree with X?" then you are more likely to make the person taking the survey think about and mark their true opinion. I guess I could have worded the questions a little better but I think one can still understand the questions. Thanks again for those of you taking the time to fill out the survey! Also, thanks for sticking with me...this is my first attempt at administering a pilot survey.
