gallop pulls work by taking a large sample of a group of people and using that to represent the whole group. polling can be important for people like politicians to see if they should even try to run for an office. 60% of Americans approve us military action against isis. 55% of Americans think gay rights should be legal

Well I think my opinion should count for at least 56% and I think gay rights should be illegal.

Caroline, I think people's rights as promised in the Constitution should be guaranteed to all people, no matter their sexual orientation. But when "gay rights" start taking other people's rights away (ie: forcing priests to marry gay couples even when it goes against their religious beliefs) then they are no longer "gay rights" they are "gay domination" tactics.

Gallup polling takes a large sample of the population and they try and get everyone that have all the opinions so they can compare it to the rest of the world. The interviews are usually done by talking on the phone.

Gallup Polling takes the opinion of a random sample of population and scales it to represent the opinion of the whole population. One reason it's important is it lets you compare data of different countries and gives insight into the economy. 65% of republicans and 64% of democrats approve military action against Isis. A majority of Americans favor protecting the environment over developing energy resources.

Gallop polls are calling people to do surveys that represent the whole country. It's is done randomly and categorize depending on age, gender, and race. I do think that polls are important. I have learned that statistics really do work and they can represent a topic really we'll. black colleges students will finish college with more than 25000 dollars in debt. The U.S. Economic confidence rose to negative 14, 4 points more than last week.

Gallop polls is where they call people at random and ask them to do a survey. They only do that for so many people and after that they takes those percentages and apply them to the whole country.

Gallop polling is a random sample which people are called to and then they are asked to answer the survey questions. Polls are very important because that shows where people stand on a certain issue. People are loosing their belief in the economy. The majority of both democrats and republicans believe in protecting the country.

Gallup Polls are conducted randomly by calling random phone numbers that are both listed and unlisted. Then people are interviewed and assigned a certain weight based on their demographics that matches those in the entire country.
