Answer 11

As a general rule of thumb

"best support"

Verified research, original publication.
Verified research, re-publication/quotation
Unbiased-news about verified research
Biased-news about verified research
Other biased sources, like a pro gun site on guns or an anti-abortion site on abortion
Opinion based on the above
Rumors
Lies/Falsified data

Worst support

Answer 12

When you have random people or poles that are not controlled it falls under opinions and rumors. So basically, all the answers other than the government study are pretty bad support.

A properly controlled pole is a form of research. An informal pole or one with badly contrived questions is flawed.
