What was the original question?

In case anyone was wondering...
The question in the poll was this:
"Q.37 Now for something a little different. As you may know, in 2008, California voters approved a
ballot proposition to borrow 9 billion dollars to build a high-speed rail line connecting Southern
California and the San Francisco Bay Area. Since 2008, construction of the high-speed rail line
has been delayed several times and has run into problems with funding and environmental
clearances. Construction is now slated to begin in 2014. Meanwhile, whether the project should
proceed is the subject of a court dispute.
From what you know, do you believe this project should be allowed to go ahead, or do you believe
it should be stopped?"
This is known as a "push poll". You give the facts that support your side, but none that support the opposite point of view, and then you ask the question.
