GOP Voter Priorities: CBS Poll

Not very surprising. The biggest takeaway, and also not that surprising, is how DeSantis is basically dead in the water before he even announces. So much so that I would suggest that he just sits it out. He'll probably just play himself out of King of Florida if he insists on getting diapered for months by Trump.

He even tried to go right down that list. Calls every pet cause "woke" and then actually follows through on them with debacles like New College and Disney, guns everywhere for everyone with zero questions asked, signed off on stealing the election via state legislatures right off the top, and hired literal trolls as comms that craft formal statements that sound like Happy Gilmore dialogue if he was mad at Democrats. He could not possibly follow the script more closely and his reward is getting absolutely prison-hammered before he even hits the shower for the first time.

 

“57% Makes Liberals Angry”

Shithole country

 

It would be interesting to see what they consider to be “woke” ideas. My guess is the vast majority of those polled are just using the term because they heard it was a bad thing, so they’re just against it without knowing what it actually is. Sort of like being against CRT being taught in schools. Never mind that they don’t understand what CRT is or that it’s not taught in schools, they’re still against it and want it banned.

 

Death spiral.

 

All you smart guys don't question the poll and how it was conducted? Just jump on the narrative that suits what you think. A margin of error over 5 points is fairly large, isn't it? How many people they talk to, like a 1000 out of the over 150 million right leaning folk in the country. I would say the same about poll that gives the narrative of the left.
This is big media trying to manipulate our thinking and the lemmings that polls like this support their thinking fall right in line.

 

The poll doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know.

 

Exactly!!!!!!!!
It fits your narrative so it must be true!!!
You guys crack me up!!

 

I thought your post was a joke or from the Onion. I’m pretty floored.

 

A majority of GOP voters desire conflict and division rather than unity and compromise in politics. That just jaw dropping.

 

No, it matches what we see on a daily basis. Repub voters overwhelmingly support Trump and their main priority is owning the libs. Your governor DeSantis knows the poll is true. He's basing his whole campaign and governing style on it.

 

Have to side with @Gatoragman to an extent here. There were just several yes/no questions posed so this wasn't a fill in the blank where that many people cited those reasons or ranked choice voting.

 

What is deceptive about yes/no questions? Seems like it’s still pretty shocking (but not really) that people would say yes to these even when presented as yes/no.

What, in your opinion, is an “appropriate” sample size? What methods of sampling? Seems to me most people who lodge these sort of complaints don’t really “get” how statistics works. I don’t think the issue is the size of the sample, provided it’s random sampling (getting a good random sample is generally the key to such opinion surveys). I’ve seen plenty of theorizing that polls using methods such as land-line phones or increasing #’s of people not responding at all introduces bias into responses they do receive, but the people taking these surveys have to work with what they have to try and get a good random sample of the population.

 

Main purpose of 99% of polling

 

5 points for a subset of a poll isn't large at all. In terms of sampling, 1,000 people is a pretty solid sample. The advantage of additional sample size gets smaller and smaller as you add new people to the sample. 1,000 sampled from a population at random will do a good job of approximating the mean of fairly high probability events.

BTW, the poll is run by YouGov not a media property. They are a solid polling and market research company. But you got to call people you didn't like lemmings, so that was useful for you (and fitting with the poll results, honestly).

 

Yes, you are correct, what am I thinking. The polls have been so correct over that past several years so must be good information. So I have hard time accepting that .0000006% of the population can tell us much of anything. But that's just me. I am not a statistician.

 

Actually, yes, they have been.

The Polls Were Historically Accurate In 2022

And it only takes intro level stats to understand the law of large numbers.

 

Seems the Pubs would rather feed their "hate" than try to solve anything at all. Sad

 

Polls/surveys are just bits of information. Scientific polls also disclose their collection methods, sample sizes, adjustments, etc. They aren’t hiding anything from you.

They aren’t intended or offered as perfect representations, hence they include margins for error or statistical terms like confidence intervals.

Not even sure what you are arguing here, for arguments sake let’s maximize the margin for error, would it be any less batshit cray-cray if only 55.4% of Republicans really thought Trump won in 2020 instead of the survey’s stated 61%?

 

A polling company reporting how accurate the polls are! Good Stuff!!!
