i do not believe its correct to say that the 17% who answered "not sure" are open to the idea of an outright ban. they may also be open to not banning racing. thats what not sure means.

as i read it the question was are you in favor of banning racing? some of them may be open to, but I believe most of that group are people who felt they didn't know enough to answer the question, or didn't want to give an opinion.
when the question being asked is whether the most radical action possible should be taken, i'm worried about someone who doesn't have a knee jerk "that's completely idiotic" reaction.

if the question asked is whether medication rules should be changed i understand that "i don't know" is a reasonable response.

"i'm not sure" the death penalty should be applied to an entire sport is more worriesome to me.
