The skewed results of your survery are probably due to one
particular factor you mentioned.  That is, like with any other
survey on the net, most people ignored it (I never even saw
the original survey message).  In this sort of situation, the lefties
(who feel downtrodden and want to prove they exist) are much more
likely than the righties to respond to the survey.  I'd wager that
an overwhelming percentage of the lefties who saw the message
responded (they wanted to be counted) but that only a relatively
few righties bothered to respond.
