Huge fan of Panahi. If you haven't seen Crimson Gold you should check it out. It's like Taxi Driver for post-revolutionary/post-war Iran.

Andrew Mercer and co. at Pew have looked at this exact phenomena (holocaust denial) in opt-in polling. The results in this poll (particularly among Hispanics and young people) make me think it suffers from the same problems.

Online opt-in polls can produce misleading results, especially for young people and Hispanic adults
We examine how an opt-in poll may have unintentionally misled the public about the sensitive issue of Holocaust denial among young Americans.

There are good reasons to believe that this result is bogus, in part because those who are "hispanic" are not actually hispanic:

One comparison I think is interesting is that the Jordans live in a wealthier/upper Middle class house in an effort to make them appear normal/relatable. The new one opens w/ James and his kids playing on their private court at their Malibu beach mansion. We’ve just accepted obscene wealth now.

Alabama plans to execute Boyd with nitrogen gas tomorrow, an experimental method that involves suffocating prisoners to death. “There’s nothing you can do to prepare for something like that,” Boyd told me. “You can’t prepare a person for drowning.”

He Was Convicted Entirely On Clashing Eyewitness Testimony. Alabama Plans to Execute Him Next Week. - Bolts
No physical evidence connected Anthony Boyd to a 1993 murder. He was sent to death row on the word of a co-defendant who testified under the threat of capital punishment.
