I think this is one of those things that can't be polled accurately. If someone asks you on the phone with a pollster whether you're for or against preventing children from accessing porn, and you aren't going to be asked the technical reasons for you're answer, you're likel to answer "yeah we should prevent children from accessing porn."
Meanwhile in the real world, when you realize that a site can link you all the fucked up shit you look at on pronhub to your identity you're going to think "fuck no, I don't want that!" You might not say that though because you don't want to admit to the people around you that you watch pervy shit on pornhub.
Feels to me like in certain circles admitting to looking at porn is too embarrassing to admit and that's something that throws off polling.
