Pseudopolls

Pseudopolls are those that lack many of the scientific research principles found in actual public opinion polls. These are increasing in frequency with the advancement of technology, with techniques on websites and text messaging polls. Often these are found through media that is already providing information on the topic. Their is little or no control over who takes the poll and it doesn't link to any other question. People opt-in when they take. Usually the people who do already have invested interest in the topic.

If you are reading my blog, it is likely that you are a student at Illinois State University in POL 312. So, look in the left column. I've created a pseudopoll. I'm not controlling over how many times you click on your answer or who you are. For all I know, you could work in admissions and want ISU to have a really positive image.

So entertain me- take it!
