Two answers, one question

The Versia newspaper has conducted two polls asking the same question: Will you participate in the April 9 protest rally? 500 people were asked this question in the streets and 500 by phone. Of those asked by telephone only 99 people (19.8%) said yes, whereas 286 (57.2%) said no. Of those asked in the streets, 200 people (40%) said yes, and only 148 (29.6%) no.

Analysts think that the difference can be explained by telephone respondents being scared by the call, while people in the streets, who could see the pollster, were less afraid.
