says that people don't mind and actually look forward to jury duty according to a new poll. However, we know that is not the case. The margin of error is 3.1%, which means that the result of the poll seems to be something like a 10sd outlier. Then it came to me...the people who happily go to jury duty are the same people who would waste their time answering questions for one of these polls. They are similar in their nature. People who wouldn't be bothered with jury duty also will tell a phone pollster or guy with a clipboard to go screw himself when he asks for 10 minutes of their time.
