This QAnon question everyone is so distressed about is way too descriptive -- asking people their view of "the QAnon theory about a conspiracy among deep state elites" -- and so gets an implausible 75 percent of respondents to express an opinion. https://civiqs.com/documents/Civiqs_DailyKos_monthly_banner_book_2020_09_klw74f.pdf
When you put "deep state" in the question, a lot of respondents with no familiarity regarding QAnon will venture an opinion based solely on how they feel about Donald Trump.
Weirdly the question is simultaneously too descriptive and not descriptive enough. "Deep state conspiracy" can be just an inflammatory way of describing bureaucratic resistance to the Trump agenda. It doesn't make clear that QAnon is about pedophile cults and such.
