How much money is being currently "wasted" on this? And how much of it is taxpayer funding that could be redirected?

No idea, but knowing how the government works I'm sure it's more than I'd expect.

If you're sure it's more than you'd expect, then you have some idea. You can just say how much you expect and then we have a lower bound to verify.

In any case do we even know who commissioned the poll? Might as well have been some institution with discretionary spending. Maybe I missed it in the article but it's not clear that this is government funded research in the first place.
