Of course not. I'm comparing your question to the infamous Bush smear campaign in the 2000 election that was disguised as a research poll. Their rationale was that they weren't actually claiming that McCain had fathered an illegitimate black child. They were just asking if it would influence your vote if he had.

Whether you intended it or not, a question like you asked about a topic that is heavy like this is loaded and full of implication. You can't disassociate yourself from that simply by saying that you were "just asking a question."
