Why Polls mean nothing

Spread the love

The truth about polls…

Find­ing out what peo­ple feel and think is a dif­fi­cult thing and for the most part its a hit and miss propo­si­tion, take for exam­ple the idea that the use of lan­guage in the design of the ques­tion can cre­ate a mis­lead­ing result.

Do you think that the United States is doing the right thing for the American People?

Yes

No.

The obvi­ous answer is no, so you go out and you find a few hun­dred peo­ple who answer their phones and you ask them the ques­tion.

Your going to get what you asked for in that instance.

So, when you see the media play­ing games with polls what does it real­ly mean?

Noth­ing at all.
