Political polling relies heavily on sampling techniques, which allow us to make inferences about an entire population based on o

nly a portion of the population. However, the "Brexit" referendum in the United Kingdom and several elections in the United States since 2016 have called into question the accuracy of much political polling. In your own words, please address all of the following questions and respond to at least two of your peers' posts: 1. What explains the inaccuracy of many pre-election polling data since 2016? Provide specific case examples. 2. What statistical techniques could be used to improve the accuracy of polling? 3. Has the value of political polling diminished? What is your personal perception of political polling?

Answer:

The example par excellence is Trump's presidential election which took by surprise the national and state election polling, which had had forecast Hillary Clinton as defeating Donald Trump.

One fact that could explain the inaccuracy of many pre-election data was the wide variety of methodologies being tested and streamed via the media.

Another fact that could affect polls in 2016 was that some demographic voting groups were hard for pollsters to reach.

Also, to hire a well-known polling firm is not necessarily hiring the most accurate polling service.

You should know how firms conduct their polls (online, telephone or robopolls, etc.). Telephone polls have legal restrictions for automated calls to cellphones under several circumstances. This states a reach challenge for telephone and online polls for those key demographic groups which finally decides in ballot boxes.

Polls calculation of bias was commonly estimated without taking into account an average error in the measures. Nowadays, a bias calculation should correlate several surveys, poll firms, and statistical techniques to calculate an average error and an average statistical bias.

Political polling has become more complex and now its complexity determines its value.

It's necessary to remember that political polling main use in a democracy is not to determine who is going to win an election or popularity but to build an equal voice about the public's needs, wants and claims.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST // Compare the lives of the animals when they live under the rule of Farmer Jones and under the rule of Nap
Tatiana [17]

Hello. If we make an analysis of George Orwell's novel "Animal Farm", you can  see that the animals actually live worse under Napoleon than they did under Jones.  

It all starts with the fact that the animals protest against the farmer, blaming him for all the bad things they have to tolerate. Therefore, at the meeting, it was decided to organize a riot to capture the farm. The organizers of the Riot are pigs. The riot crowned with success, the farm began to live an independent life according to the commandments. So, gradually the power was in the hands of one pig.  

"The Seven commandments, proclaimed by the animals on the farm:  

"The one who walks on two legs is an enemy.  

"He who walks on four legs or has wings is a friend.  

-The animal does not wear clothes.  

–The animal does not sleep in the bed (later added: with sheets).  

– The animal does not drink alcohol (later added: in excess of measures).  

– The animal will not kill another animal (later added: no cause).  

-All animals are equal (later added: But some more than others)»  

But these commandments did not last long. "Gradually, one by one, Napoleon corrected, and then completely canceled all the commandments except one, the seventh. However, this commandment did not remain unchanged and took the following form: "All animals are equal, but some animals are the same."

Thus, gradually the political elite of animals becomes simply indistinguishable from the human elite. And in that, it is possible to look the ironic "compliment" of the last, as well as in the ideological message of the novel as a whole a clear hint of what role the ordinary member of the Society plays in the system. And the novel "Animal Farm" remains relevant today, because slogans and "good intentions" are changing, means too, but the public machine in many respects continues to implement the plans of its leaders, playing a "big politics", really do not Interested in human needs as individuality and not defending his life as the highest value.
