That poll was a joke. It actually polled people about ISIS, using that word, while ISIS isn't used in French at all...

We use EI, EIIL or more recently Daesh.

The only people who had any idea of what was talked about where those reading the English language media.

My guess is that people aither thought about something else, or not wanting to be caught being ignorant stated a random opinion.

Basically the question used two denomination for Daesh, none of which being widely used by the media... Add to that people too proud to admit their ignorance, and you have the recipe for a totally worthless poll...
