I think the range of answers to the second question will bias the results. You should probably add quite a few more onto the bottom, so that the range of answers goes up at least as far as 7,000. I voted for 6,400 which is the second highest possible answer in your poll, and is higher than anyone else has voted, but if you read what many analysts are predicting, then 6,400 is certainly not overly bullish.
By omitting the higher answers from your poll, you introduce an expectation bias into the survey.

I completely agree, though that could also be said of the lower numbers; however I understand that there is a rather low limit on the number of options that can be provided in this style of poll.
