"Do you support the confrontations carried out by the resistance against the Israeli aggression against Lebanon ?"

This is rather different from what is usually inferred from 'support Hezbollah', esp. when it's in the middle of the bombing campaign and there are ground incursions in the south.

Access to the south was probably curtailed, and many people were refugees at the time.

Moreover, the sample was 800 respondents (no word as to how many didn't respond) divided over 4 groups, so maybe 200 per group, probably far fewer Druse or Sunnis than Shi'ites. When you start getting down to 100 or 150 people in a poll, the error rate starts to rise, even if you *could* get a good random sample.
