Pulse Asia - Do you believe the surveys they do?

**mrpink** · September 16th, 2005 10:08 PM

i don't believe them as absolute truths ...

it always favors the one paying for it.

also, when it comes to political surveys, the opinions of the people taking the surveys will definitely factor into the equation. remember that the questions can always be designed to favor a particular result (example, "are you gay?" as against "are you in touch with your feminine side?" the first will most likely return a NO answer, the second will have a 50/50 result).

and that's not to mention surveyors who put in the trash answer sheets that do not agree with their own personal politics.

nope, the fact that they only get opinions from just hundreds of people is not enough.

they can manipulate the results depending on how they asked a particular question depende sa gusto ng nagbayad.. example din..

i'd suggest you guys see the actual questionnaires and study the actual methodology first.

So are you YES or NO?

well, it's directed at those who are in doubt about such surveys, but i'm not saying that they're definitely valid,... since i haven't seen the questionnaires and studied the methodologies myself hehe
