A voter survey in The Hindu states that, when asked the question "Are you satisfied with your present economic condition?", 13% and 11% of the respondents categorised as "Poor" and "Very poor" respectively answered "Yes".

I really don't know what to make of this. Does it mean that at least a fraction of Indians have successfully internalised the maxim "Be content with what you have", or that the person(s) conducting the survey had no clue how to go about doing their job?
