WTF? That's how they are checking the pulse of a nation of over 300 million people?
And who picks these people being polled? I'd say that 900 people from Chicago would have a completely different political view than 900 people from Kentucky.
Anyway, it's just kind of jolting to see how few people these polls really represent.
For some reason I thought that all the Presidential polls used at least several thousand people nationwide.  |
Absolutely agreed - the other day I watched billo and the poll he showed had a sample size of only 1500 idiots . I could not fucking believe it.
I guess when AB testing traffic, one only needs 4-7 uniques and you must then have all of the information you will ever need
