That Observer Survey that Showed People Want the Death Penalty

It's quite a worrying survey but here's the 'best' bit:

Which of the following crimes do you think should be punished with the death penalty? (**Asked of all those who support the re-introduction of the death penalty for certain crimes**)

Murder 91%
Terrorism 68%
Paedophilia 41%
Rape 23%
Drug dealing 13%
Other 2%

So of all the people who thought that the death penalty should be reintroduced, only 91% thought it should apply to murder. WTF?

Does that seem strange to you? I'm also intrigued as to what the 'other' crimes could be. Did someone put down "Keying my car", maybe?
