You're already judging the truck driver as "bad" when everything indicates he acted in self-defense. Stand your ground laws are not restricted to what the person can use to defend him or herself. The rafter guy had even been in jail for being drunk and hitting one person with, surprise, surprise, a paddle. And several witnesses had seen the "tourists" littering along the way. The truck driver is a hero.

They threw out those responses or had the pollster rephrase the question until the person hung up or answered yes. Also, the question is phrased so that if someone was worried about debris falling on them but not trucking, canyons or rafting, they would still be counted. Edit: these are exaggerations of what pollsters do in real life to influence the results of polls they are taking.
