Even though most voters say that the case against the former president is “strong,” they don’t want to see him serving jail time

    Actually the sample size checks out. I love it when people see “Smol number not as big as big number, therefore sample size bad” and I am going to pull a very elitist argument here and say that people at Harvard University likely know more about polling than you do, just saying.

      Small sample size is fine when it’s representative of the population. Trying to extract nationwide sentiment, a very diverse thing, off a small size is unlikely to be very representative.

        Except the numbers work out, and studies have made very very sweeping generalizations based on much smaller sample sizes of much larger demographics (for example the 1 in 5 myth comes from a study that had less than 100 respondents). This study is a dream compared to those.

          Just because studies have made sweeping statements, doesn’t mean they’re right. I could say I’ve got the longest member I’m the world based on a study I conducted in my basement, but it doesn’t change reality.

            Where did I say making sweeping statements equals correctness? Man people are getting so emotional over this because it turns out the majority don’t agree with them. Guess it shreds the narrative that they’re the majority.

      Not enough people took a statistics class in school and it shows.

        I imagine with the safe-spacification of college statistics is no longer a required elective in many programs.

          It’s kind of ironic you’ve gone from defending Harvard to shitting on colleges in a span of just two comments.

            The fact that people who still do take stats classes likely know what they’re talking about is not contradictory to the point that these classes may no longer be required in most degrees. Hope this helps! Try not to blow a head gasket trying to process this info.

              Also ironic that I was the one person who defended your original comment.

          Sounds like someone who definitely went to college and knows the typical graduation requirements

          Dumbest fucking take. Can’t even imagine what was going through your head as you were writing that.

          For your own sake, seek out better friends and media.
