The poll I selected was conducted by Marquette University. The question asked was for people's attitudes towards Congress role in dealing with the issue of healthcare. Of the 800 respondents, only 28% voted in support of repealing the Affordable Care Act, thus exposing political pitfalls from many Republicans, including Paul Ryan and Donald Trump. A sampling error could be found in that the poll was only conducted in Wisconsin, a Republican state. Although a majority of the voters were in support of keeping the Affordable Care Act (Democratic beliefs), there could have potentially been a bias towards Republican beliefs because it is a Republican state, though not shown in this study.

Harris Poll: Many Americans Unaware of This Year's Heavy Tick Season
ReplyDeleteThis poll mainly focuses on the increase in this years predicted number of ticks and bugs that carry diseases. These bugs carry serious diseases that could cause death, but many Americans are very lax about the increase in the ticks because of the low number of reported cases of the ticks effecting people. They asked questions such as "do you know what lymn disease is" to a crowd of 2031 adults with mixed race, gender and ethnicities. The results of the poll showed that about 80% of adults know about lymn disease, but less than 4% know about the more serious, posswan disease. The Website used is theharrispoll.com. There is no information about the sampling error but it should be low because it was from a random sample.
