I don't think you understand how diverse different schools of thought are in economics. To build on your example, it would be like asking "is abortion wrong?" to a group of religious fundamentalists. Ask a post-Keynesian what they think about price controls, or really, any school that's not a free market fundamentalist.

I don't think you understand how surveys work. The goal of a survey isn't to include everyone's opinion. The goal of a survey is to understand the overall opinion of the population. This is not difficult to understand, I feel like you're being deliberately obtuse to avoid having to admit you're wrong.
