Poll results depend who and where they're held.
The problem with the results of polls thats used in the media is that they very rarely tell you what the question was.

the poll put up the statement: The prime minister needs to deliver brexit by any means, including suspending parliament if necessary, to prevent mps from stopping it
54% of those asked were in favour.
But the media, the telegraph, reports:
The ComRes survey for The Telegraph found that 54 per cent of British adults think Parliament should be prorogued to prevent MPs stopping a no-deal Brexit.

"Zero Hedge is described as a "markets-focused" blog, that presents both in-house analysis, and analysis from investment banks, hedge funds, and other investment writers and analysts. Zero Hedge, per its motto, is bearish in its investment outlook and analysis, often deriving from its adherence to the Austrian School of economics and credit cycles.Zero Hedge expanded into non-financial analysis, where its editorial has been labelled by The New Yorker as being associated with the alt-right, as well as being anti-establishment, conspiratorial, and showing a pro-Russian-bias.Zero Hedge in-house content is posted under the pseudonym "Tyler Durden"; however, the founder and main editor was identified as Daniel Ivandjiiski."It takes seconds to find the source of the initial post. Hardly reputable, definitely not credible.
When we see someone consistently posting info from very dubious sources with a clear agenda in mind then we are forced to ask ourselves: "is this poster really just an individual with a specific interest and point of view"? Or is this individual an activist for a well funded campaign movement? I strongly suspect the latter due to the nature of his posts, his tendency to source information from unusual places, his reliance on quoting facts/figures from all sorts of sources (a level of research atypical in a normal bloke posting), and most particularly his lack of human touch - never admit you are wrong, never concede, never give the other points of view any credit.
Whilst is it no doubt impossible to remove such political activists from forum such as this, we should all treat the contributions that fit the above description with a strong pinch of salt. These are not points of view - these are agendas and political promotioning at work.

labelled alt-right by the failing New York Times I do believe.
Yawn ....
I get information from many sources, including left wing media such as The Guardian and The Observer too. All you're doing is trying to censor the internet - a deeply irresponsible thing to do.
Try to win arguments instead

Like the "Four Horsemen" you mean? Certainly plenty of evidence of a well funded campaign movement there.
