Polls vs. Polls – Discerning Polling Methods and Results – with Mark Mitchell – [Ep. 177]

Polls, polls, and more polls. It seems we can hardly turn on a news report without hearing some sort of poll results about any number of issues or people. This is true in non-election years, but it is even more apparent in election seasons. When properly researched and conducted, polls can provide incredible insight into the minds of citizens, which is helpful for everyone who cares about the future of our country. With so many polling firms, questions, and tactics, how can we – as average citizens – discern what polls are most accurate and what the results mean to our lives and livelihoods? Linda's guest is Mark Mitchell, COO and Head of Polling at Rasmussen Reports, one of the nation's most well-known polling companies. He and Linda discuss polling methods, how to analyze results, and what questions to ask before trusting news reports about polls. We do not need to let the media dominate our understanding of poll results. We can discern and decide as we evaluate various polls and results.
