Comments on: A Republican Congresswoman’s district survey, annotated by a “Democrat” constituent https://occasionalplanet.org/2013/12/27/a-republican-congresswomans-district-survey-annotated-by-a-democrat-constituent/ Progressive Voices Speaking Out Wed, 26 Jul 2017 15:46:46 +0000 hourly 1 By: Nick-B https://occasionalplanet.org/2013/12/27/a-republican-congresswomans-district-survey-annotated-by-a-democrat-constituent/#comment-6172 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 16:16:00 +0000 http://www.occasionalplanet.org/?p=27068#comment-6172 That is a surprisingly misleading poll. Pretty much no matter how people answer in it, they can spin it as bad for the current administration and policy directions. “Our constituents believe the economy is not going to get better! Obama failed!” or “Our constituents believe the economy is getting better! Our reigning in of Obama’s failed policies works!”

No matter the choice, it will result in a “majority opinion” for each question that will no doubt be spun to their own advantage. I recall receiving a similar poll over the phone in which the questions were crafted to lead people to an ideal. I can’t recall exactly what they said, but I seem to think one such said “Do you support the murder of unborn babies?”. Seems a bit extreme for a poll, but the questions were undoubtedly leading to pro-life results.

Thanks for the post. Great responses to these poll questions, and a superb job of pointing out how even simple questions worded strangely can lead to complex answers.
