Opinion Polling


You are going to conduct your own opinion polls

Read Chapter 18-4 "Measuring Opinion"  Using the information on pages 520 - 521 (scientific polling), do the following:

1.  Outline your sample : include a definition of who is your "universe"
2.  Outline how you will conduct your survey:  Include your plan for random sampling and eliminating error.  Be specific about time and place.
3.  Develop your polls:
       a.  Decide which (5) issues you think are most important
       b.  For each issue write two (2) questions.  One as unbiased as you can, another written in an attempt to influence the response (be creative)
       c.  pass out your survey and present your data accordingly
