(What Irony) A Poll regarding the accuracy of polls. (Poll coming soon)
Do you feel that Polls are accurate or inaccurate? What are your opinions of polls? Do they really work and project the majority? Please explain.
example poll: (Sorry, I couldn't find the source)
Poll by Zogby Intn'l:
result: 72% of U.S. soldiers want to "Leave Iraq".
We polled 944 U.S. soldiers +/-3% across Iraq.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Now, by using their numbers, more results with 100% math accuracy. My results are........that only 0.67% of U.S. soldiers were polled. How did I get that number? Well, I took the number of U.S. soldiers currently serving in Iraq, which is 141,000 times the proper percentage of 0.67% (0.67%=944.7 U.S. soldiers polled).
Now, that 72%, is of the 944 soldiers polled equals 679.68 U.S. soldiers. So, how can this be accurate when there is less than 1% surveyed? I believe that polls can be very misleading. I feel that they don't represent the truth.
Maybe, for this reason, President Bush says he doesn't pay to much attention to poll statistics due to misleading/inaccurate results.
I don't feel that the results of the above mentioned poll fairly represents the majority of the U.S. troops currently serving in Iraq. I also believe that some of these type polls are used to undermine the U.S. Army and our Government. They, seemingly, are jumping into the mad-media and is being used as some sort of ammunition to influence their hatefulness.
Specificly, that poll is nothing more than dog dirt.
God Bless America!!!
