Public Policy Polling, a Democratic poll known to throw a kooky question or two into the mix, got some interesting answers related to President Trump's (now stalled) executive order on immigration.

A few of the questions reference the much addressed but completely fake "Bowling Green massacre," a homeland terrorist attack that never actually happened. The faux "massacre" was first brought up by Trump's senior advisor Kellyanne Conway in interviews with MSNBC and Cosmopolitan and subsequently debunked by a number of publications.

Nevertheless, the completely false nature of Conway's claim didn't stop 712 registered voters polled by PPP from having a very real opinion about it.

As documented in a 60-page summary, polltakers asked, "Do you agree or disagree with the following

statement: 'the Bowling Green massacre shows why we need Donald Trump's executive order on immigration?'"

More than half of people — 57 percent of the total — said "no," either because they knew it had ever happened or because they thought that wasn't enough to justify the ban. 20 percent of those polled weren't sure.

What's more interesting, however, is that these respondents' answers were also divided by who they voted for. While those who voted for Hillary Clinton, Jill Stein, Gary Johnson, or someone else overwhelmingly disagreed with the above question, the majority — 51 percent — of those who voted for Trump agreed that a fictional event justified Trump's signing of an executive order banning immigration to the U.S. from seven predominantly Muslim countries.

However, the information presented by Public Policy Polling should be considered carefully. Some of their previous polling practices have been called "unscientific" and the polling organization has also been called out for "[treating] its data inconsistently." One of its biggest critics is Nate Silver and his nonpartisan polling aggregation and analysis site, FiveThirtyEight.

Nevertheless, it may be worth a look as a whole. Other interesting answers include questions about Trump and his relationship with "Saturday Night Live" (many people believe "SNL" is more credible than Trump), and opinions about his tax returns.
