Most [95.6 %] of the people of Uzbekistan are not cold, hungry, thirsty, unemployed, sick, dying, malcontent, mistreated, corrupt, paranoid, fanatical, maniacal, or atheist. An unsurprisingly small minority [0.23 %] of the population support the IMU, Al-Quaeda, and [sic] other Western-influenced NGOs. Now - are you sure I'm making those up? Other findings of the poll:

We all know that this poll is prime bollocks and the usual smokescreen. "The polling agency, unsurprisingly, is supported by the government of Uzbekistan and did not reveal its methodology." I would even not be surprised if UNDP funded this. Come on lads, why do you even wonder? We all know that this poll is prime bollocks and the usual smokescreen.

“The polling agency, unsurprisingly, is supported by the government of Uzbekistan and did not reveal its methodology.”

I'd like to see how they phrased it. “Peace and stability, ethnic and civil harmony are the highest values obtained through independence for the absolute majority of the population or 94.3%.”
