Brexit - or Article 50: the Phoenix!

[drdel]

20,000 as a survey sample size is very large, much more than for the usual polls, and is statistically very likely to be accurate.

The survey really has no importance, but it's wrong to write it off as inaccurate.

But it can be skewed by, time of day(workers: not home),

Method: land lines not used by many,

Email: not used as much by elder people.

I could easily conduct a survey and by carefully choosing method, regions/post code, etc pretty much guarantee the result.

Interesting question. Can you give me the link to the poll in question. I genuinely can't find it 👍

Take your pick, google capitol punishment poll or https://yougov.co.uk/news/2014/08/13/capital-punishment-50-years-favoured/

Interesting to see that opinions in Trumps USA are slowly changing.

But that's over 4 yrs old and shows a downward trend. Is there anything more recent?

Nobody asked for one, however the last poll on capital punishment suggested that it should be bought back. You suggested that your swayed by polls and action should be taken on them.

It’s clear that he’s only interested in polls or news that go along with his view

Only ones from papers and the media ( as per a google search) that I can find, not sure what age has to do with it, or is their a suggestion that if it's not current it's irrelevant.

Age is relevant if the graph is showing a trend. There was a report in 2015 that stated that support for the death penalty was now a minority. I don't know what the support level is now. I'm genuinely interested but can't find anything.

I'm not sure that is a U.K. Result.

Obviously polling companies factor in those differences, otherwise they wouldn't be a very good polling company.

Going on the last few years, there not.

Polls are statistically more accurate than ever.

Never going to give the same result as a public vote, but to be generally within a few percentage points on sampling a small section of the population takes a lot of skill.

 

[Old Skier]

Been very wrong over the last couple of elections and the referendum.

I think these days a lot of people when surveyed give an opposite answer just for the hell of it.

 

[MegaSteve]

Finding it mildly amusing some seem to think the result of an opinion poll ,of thousands, is a basis to argue for a 'proper ' vote involving millions to be re-run or overturned...

In fact it's bloomin ' hilarious....

Don't be silly, the output is usually directly related to the interests of "he who sign the cheque"

My request wasn't aimed at you. That's why I didn't quote you. 👍

There certainly seems to be a trend - reducing 'for' and increasing 'against' - though majority still 'for'.
