No, a fact is an invariant. If you take a poll and then take another
poll, you'll get a different result. That isn't factual, sorry.


Actually a poll is a statement of fact: the people polled did in fact say
what the poll says. The problem arises with how you extend the poll to
represent the unpolled.
