Following the October 15, 2019, fourth Democratic debate, Drudge Report ran an online poll on its website and asked readers who won the debate. A total of 208,001 votes were cast, with Gabbard receiving 79,881 votes (38%), Yang receiving 37,944 votes (18%), Buttigieg receiving 25,337 votes (12%), Warren receiving 14,405 votes (7%), Kloubachar receiving 13,142 votes (6%), Biden receiving 11,246 votes (5%), Steyers receiving 7,791 votes (4%), Sanders receiving 7,672 votes (4%), and the remaining candidates each receiving 1% or fewer votes. The sample size for this poll is much larger than is typical for polls such as the Gallup Poll. Explain why the poll may give unreliable information about the voting population, even with such a large sample size.

Respuesta :

Although the sample size for the poll is much larger than is typical for polls such as the Gallup Poll, the poll may give unreliable information about the voting population, even with such a large sample size, due to the following reasons:

  • First, it is an online survey, where the interviewer does not decide who to interview and, therefore, the sample from which the result is obtained has not passed through the necessary heterogeneity filters.
  • Second, because even in the case of a large number of people, since these voters are voluntary, there is no certainty that their responses are objective or neutral, which affects the final result.
