Return to Question

I am running two circuits on IBMQ back to back like this:

circ1 = QuantumCircuit(1, 1)
circ1.x(0)
circ1.draw()

circ2 = QuantumCircuit(1, 1)
circ2.measure(0, 0)
circ2.draw()

job = execute([circ1, circ2], backend, shots=100, init_qubits=True)

results = job.result()
counts = results.get_counts()
print("\nTotal counts are:", counts)

The first circuit contains one X gate and that's it. The second circuit contains a measure gate only. Please note that init_qubits=True when I invoke execute. I would expect that the second circuit should measure mostly 0 state since there is supposed to be a reset at the beginning of any circuit, or at least this is what I believe should happen. However, I get this:

Total counts are: [{'0': 100}, {'1': 51, '0': 49}]

So the measure gate in the second circuit returns roughly 50% times the 0 state and 50% times the 1 state. I do not understand what is going on.
