I think you're misreading the article. The poll wasn't "attached" to any news story, a portion of the polling was conducted after the story broke.
It is also completely possible to carry out representative polling over the internet; this poll executed by Reuters and a prominent market research firm, it wasn't a sidebar in a CNN Online post.

I wonder what percentage of the american population really knows what drones are?
Reminds me of opinions of cars at the turn of the century (1900): "To the average city dweller, the idea of a city oriented around transportation in cars, and especially privately owned cars carrying one or a few people, would have been incomprehensible. Indeed, the modern idea of a street as an artery, existing primarily to convey vehicles, would have been foreign, says Christopher W. Wells, author of Car Country: An Environmental History" (http://nautil.us/issue/7/waste/did-cars-save-our-cities-from...)

If we can't have a serious poll, I'd like to see the result if they repeat the same "poll" but attached to this news:
* "Mom with broken leg found 3 years old kid lost in the forest using drone"
* "RC airport cafeterias drop the price to 1/3 using drones to distribute the burritos"
