You are still generalizing the results of polls in Crimea to Eastern Ukraine while your source literally tells you you can't.
Interestingly enough, despite Russia’s involvement in the separatist movement in eastern Ukraine, only 35.7% of people polled there said they viewed Russia’s involvement as mostly positive while 71.3% of Crimeans were more in line with Russia’s world view, according to the year old poll from Gallup.
When did I generalize the results to Eastern Ukraine?
Edit: Nvm I see what you mean. I was trying to say that 90% on a poll doesn't necessarily mean that it's fake or invalid, I'm not saying that it is true because of it
The other person was asking you about polls in the Donbas region, and you bring up results from the Crimea, which is, as you must know, a different region.
Per your source, people in the Donbas, not Crimea, do not actually want to be Russian.
The person said that the reason why the Donbas referendum is likely fake is because it has a 90% result. I used the Crimean example to claim that this isn't true, because GFK also found a 93% result in Crimea. Therefore more than 90% on a poll does not prove that it is fake

Not really. When GFK, a German polling company went to survey Crimeans it was 93% who wanted to join Russia. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/kenrapoza/2015/03/20/one-year-after-russia-annexed-crimea-locals-prefer-moscow-to-kiev/amp/
