There's a graphic in the article with a breakdown, 17% are "Not sure"

While that's normal for surveys like this, it's also annoying. They're unsure about if they want a war with their next door neighbour?

Some people are just too alienated from things and when asked about their opinion, they're like 'errr I don't know, not sure', and that's usually not because they understand the matter but are unsure of it, but because they don't understand the matter at all

Usually that also includes "didn't respond"/DR/NR. I would assume this was a multi question survey and that 17% includes at least some DR/NR.

No, they're not "not sure", they're just cowards unwilling to voice their opinion because they know it's morally objectionable.

It's possible many of that 17% are 'not sure' because they failed to understand the question and couldn't be bothered to read it twice. They are Americans.
