Measuring Public Opinion

Public opinion is typically measured through polls that survey a sample of people meant to represent a larger population, reporting a margin of error that reflects the uncertainty from sampling only some people rather than everyone. A poll's accuracy depends on more than sample size alone: a sample that fails to represent the full population, biased question wording, or a low response rate can each produce a misleading result even when an official-sounding margin of error is attached.
