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.

Here is a link (.pdf) to the complete poll. Methodology can be found starting on page 22. The sample size per country was 1,000 adults--except in Pakistan where it was 2,000.

And of course nothing in the poll supports the title of this thread.
