Done and done.

 

Done.

Do they teach how to create a survey in order to lean the results toward an expected outcome? Just curious. I always wanted to teach a class in how to take surveys, so that people could avoid leading questions and survey pulls that effect the outcome.

Maybe if I could have done this years ago, we would not be stuck with the November choices that we have today.

 

Done. Aren't questions 11 and 14 basically the same though?

 

Done.

Agree with gosixers, though. Some of the questions seemed redundant.

 

Well someone has an awfully high opinion of himself.

True

But mostly I have a very low opinion of surveys. Seems that the people who write surveys tend to look for a specific answer, then some other yokel uses his 2nd grade knowledge of statistics to make it look like the survey shows something that it does not.

I once saw two separate surveys in a statistics class to show this principle. At the begining of the class and then two weeks later, the class was given surveys about WW2. After running both surveys through the statistical "grinder," it showed that 90% of the class hated the actions of Adolf Hitler, yet over 75% approved of his actions.

And the real kicker is that neither survey mentioned the name of Hitler or WW2. It was to show how you can misapply statistics and get an incorrect answer.

Don't get me wrong, I love surveys, but Politicians use the same priciple not to see what people want, but to find out how to word their agenda so that the average voter will swallow it.

If people were more aware of exactly what was being asked, and could tell the tone of the survey, we might get people to realise when they are being lied to, and then to vote for better candidates.

Then again, maybe not, but I can always hope.
