Polling Results:how polls work
Okay....here we go, experiment successful.
The point of this experiment was to define how polling is manipulated.
Media report#1. Republican Poll
President Bush currently holds 68 % approval raitings in the tecoyah polls
Media report#2. Non Partisan Poll
President Bush currently holds 33 % approval ratings in the tecoyah polls
Media report#3. Democratic Poll
President Bush currently holds 7 % approval ratings in the tecoyah polls
As you can see the wording of the questions will create the results of ANY poll. All three of these questions could be used to guage the popularity of the President, and would be reported as a valid result. These results were of no suprise to me, and I hope were at least somewhat enlightening.
Thank you for participating.
