Answer:

No, because it's not a representative sample of the people of the US.

Explanation:

In statistical analysis, a representative sample is a subset of a population that matches the characteristics of the whole population. A survey instrument (like a poll) used to collect information from a representative sample allows us to extrapolate the results of the survey to the whole population. However, if the sample is non-representative, this can't be done. In this case, <u>the telephone poll is not representative of the whole population of the US</u>, because this poll was conducted by contacting only people who have landline phones, thereby excluding people who only have mobile phones and people who have no phone at all. Therefore, no matter the results of the poll, you can't say that over 50% of all people in the U.S. do not support gay marriage.

Explain how Charlemagne's empire is an example of cooperation between the Church and European monarchs.
Snezhnost [94]

Charlemagne united Western Europe with other European regions after the Roman Empire. During his ruling, the Carolingian Renaissance was fostered within the Church. French and German monarchies viewed themselves as descendants of Charlemagne's empire. The support Charlemagne gave to the Church, made the Pope consider him as a legitimate Roman Emperor.

What impact have third parties had on the United States?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Under the rules of the Commission on Presidential Debates, presidential candidates must earn the support of at least 15 percent of voters in national polls in order to join the televised debates; recent reports suggest that Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson may be getting close. With less than two months to go until the first debate, he is hitting between 8 and 11 percent in various national polls – still well behind the nominees of the Democratic and Republican parties, but enough to make an impact on the outcome.

Barbara Perry, the director of presidential studies at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center and co-chair of the center’s Presidential Oral History program, recently discussed the impact third parties have had over the years and how they might affect the 2020 election.
