Would put some of that down to people making errors with checkboxes, comprehension issues & trolling.

But yeah, some people just like conviction regardless of their thoughts on a case.

They should be controlling for those things

Most poll results give the margins of error of the method(s) used. No idea if this one did or not, but 2% and 3% don't seem dramatic enough to not be explicable by margin of error issues.
