PLUS OR MINUS 7 PERCENT!!
This report is utter bull.
All polls have a statistical margin of error. The results are still valid.
The report is not utter bull because unfortunately Jewish Americans are extremely liberal. It’s always sad listening to Jewish conservatives like Dennis Praeger analyzing “why” Jewish Americans are so liberal.
Do you detect a significant drop in support among Jewish folks? (I'm not talking about Jewish FReepers who are disgusted by him, always have been, always will be; I'm talking about the population in general)
I sure haven't.
“This report is utter bull.”
absolutely correct, the real approval is closer to 80%.
No, it merely has a wider margin of error.
In order to achieve tighter margins of error, you would need a larger sample size. A sample size of 1,023 yields the common +/- 3%, for example.
As long as you keep in mind the large margin of error, the results are statistically valid. Given that Jews are such a small cohort of the population, and that they vote in the vast majority for the Democratic (or more frequently, lunatic liberal) candidate in a race, the only interesting result would be if there were such a huge change in opinion in the Jewish voting cohort so as to indicate a change (eg) from 80% of Jews voting for Obama to only 30% voting for Obama. Multiply that by 3% to arrive at the overall voting demographics and you see how many Jews it would take changing their minds to result in even a 1% change in the overall vote tally.
