So you're equating an unsupported claim to an actual poll? Hmmmm....

No, I did say that I couldn't see any reference to the detail of the poll (although I may have missed it in my reading). I prefer to know a bit about the poll before taking its findings as gospel, eg how many people were surveyed? Where were they surveyed etc? I'm sure if you polled 1 person in central Kabul and that person agreed with the premise, then you'd have a poll that shows that 100% of people support it ... it's hardly representative though, hence the desire to know more about the qualitative context.
