    With that said I don’t believe that so few people wouldn’t answer “none” for Large Technology Companies.

    “none (volunteered)” so “none” wasn’t an option for a response, but was recorded if they said it anyway

    it’s a poll of about 1000 people and the margin of error is already 4 percentage points, so i think the “none” is a lot more dependent on luck of the draw and getting people who despise that particular institution enough to say “none” even though it wasn’t offered as a choice

      Ok so “very little” is the ACTUAL “none” and their addition of “none” is there to play down how bad the lowest response that was actually an option is. This constructs a very different set of results, 16% of society has the lowest possible opinion of police offered as an option in the poll.
