Discussion Polls collected from the internet are very unreliable and can sometimes be biased towards a group, race or religion. The aim of this investigate was to see if polls were mostly worded in a specific way that manipulates what we choose making the polls very unreliable and Bias. For the first poll found it came to my attention that there were not enough respondents for this to be accurate. When polls do not have a decent number of respondents you do not get the full picture. There needs…
Madeline Rice 2A Current Event #2 After the first presidential debate of 2016, held on September 26th, Donald Trump walked away feeling quite victorious. Polls suggested Trump overpowered Hillary Clinton during the debate, however, these “polls” may not be as reliable as we think. The polls were conducted online. A big red flag there. Online polls are not to be trusted due to several issues such as bias and those who voted do not qualify as random sampling. A professional when it comes to…
The election of 2000 between Bush and Gore was one of the most controversial battles of our time because of many complications in the voting process which led to many vexed decisions made by officials. On Tuesday, November 7 millions of people casted votes to elect the next president of the United States, in the end Bush came out on top winning 271 electoral votes. But as soon as the count was done, one state that stood out the most was Florida because who ever won Florida would've became the…
My prediction about Hillary Clinton becoming the president was wrong. Donald Trump won the election and defeated Clinton. Clinton did not get enough votes as predicted by poll data. Trump got votes from Clinton’s supporters that did not vote her. The predictive models of politics can be improved by not being biased when making prediction, looking at more data, and viewing the viewpoint of both sides of arguments. Clinton did not get plenty votes as expected by polling data. My prediction that…
The state of Florida has also seen growth in its population of about 1.46 million; the Hispanic demographic had made up about 51 percent of that growth within 5 years, 2010-2015. “What difference does four years make? For Florida, in a presidential election year, the difference means surging population growth that could influence the outcome of the national contest” (Klas). As of today, “There are currently about 4.4 million registered Republicans and nearly 4.6 million Democrats. But the voters…
The Presidential Election In November, 2016 we the people, are to vote for a new commander and chief of the United States, to lead our country in the right direction. Many candidates, both Democrat and Republicans, along with their supporters, are setting precedence with their abusive and abrasive behavior and bad answers. I look at politics now as more of an argument about a person or vulgar language. When the 2016 election is over the next president is likely to be viewed unfavorably by…
Summary In the upcoming debates, a former first lady and secretary of state will face off against a billionaire real estate mogul who has never held any sort of office before but instead has recently been a reality show host. Contrary to belief, the election is not as one-sided as once perceived, in fact, the race is closer than ever at this moment. Shortly after the democratic national convention, markets gave Donald Trump as little as a 20% chance of becoming the next president. Furthermore,…
Texas held their primary elections on March 1st, and voters had a chance to balance in on the 2016 Republican and Democratic presidential nominations. This year’s primaries included stimulating intraparty clashes over seats in Congress and the state Legislature. The down-ballot races have understandably received slight attention compared with a presidential race that turned out to be more interesting than before. But for those paying attention, the rhetoric in local and national races may have…
Even though I am not of age to vote, I am proud of my fellow peers for taking control of their voting rights. We did not taking this presidential election lightly. We took action in voting and letting the candidates know we, the people, do have a voice and we will play important role in the future progress of America. In order for us, the “minority,” to continue to thrive in the political arena…
