I'm guessing farmed meat isn't on the list, because adding it becomes an anchor that throws everything else off. It's easily more brutal than a circus but has single-digit non-participation, and people don't want to look inconsistent.
I wonder now, what happens to the results if you put the question about factory farming at either the beginning or the very end?
My guess is that when at the beginning, the percentages would shift significantly into the acceptable range because of the not wanting to look inconsistent.
Oh bother I can't remember who did the study, but Earthling Ed in his book talks about it, whereby participants were either served meat or not during questions regarding diet, and those who were eating meat became almost obtusely against vegan diets. I tried searching for it just now but can't think of the right keywords to find it.
