Why your support matters
Who was surveyed? One interpretation of the data can be made based on the following:
1. Greenpoint has a lot of Polish people living in it.

3. Catholics listen to the Pope.
4. The Pope doesn’t approve of contraception.
5. People in Greenpoint don’t use condoms because they’re good Catholics who listen to the Pope, thusly returning these survey numbers.
