Vice President Kamala Harris' refusal to break with the Biden administration's support for Israel's assault on Gaza cost her millions of potential Democratic voters. Will the Democratic Party learn from this and listen to its voters who want leaders to oppose sending more weapons to Israel? #Gaza #ElectionImpact
Oh for crying out loud. They surveyed LESS THAN 500 PEOPLE.
This “damning” new poll is bullshit. They’re extrapolating out from 474 people polled to try and pretend like they can accurately tell me what 19 MILLION people think?
This is just sad.
Edit: lol at the downvote. But seriously, that’s not a representative sample size. By several orders of magnitude. This is stupid.
If the samples are randomly distributed a very small increase in sample size will have a big effect on the probability your sampled estimate will be close to the actual population’s reading
I can’t seem to find any pages that explain that simple concept simply, but if you’re really interested these both get into it
I hadn’t even noticed how small that sample size was. 474 is a tiny ass study. This kind of poll should have been conducted with far more participants if it wanted to be taken more seriously. At least 1000. It’s an online pollster, so it’s not like it’d be impossible to get that many.

Tell me you know nothing about statistics without telling me you know nothing about statistics.
Sure, buddy. A factor of to 38,000 per one response is “representative”?
Nope!! Not happening, buddy!

Do you even know how to do an ANOVA?
