Internet Writing Assignment C There are several polls that are currently being displayed. These include social issues, current election standings, and other items including things like the economy and educational issues. One poll that I found on these sites is how favorable is Donald Trump. I learned that Republicans favor him the most and Democrats dislike him the most and independent voters are somewhere in the middle. He is about 50/50 with the voters currently and slightly more unfavorable at the last poll. When he first started he was about 90% unfavorable so he has came a long way since then. After looking at both of these sites, I found that the pollingreport.com website is what I would use for a reference. Depending on what I am searching for I may turn to Gallup polls if it is regarding a social issue or something other than politics. Polling Report I found was more useful for information regarding presidential elections. For this reason I found Polling Report to be more useful especially to people in a college level political science class and to the American public.
It is important to have all this poll data online because you can see how others think and you can have a reference available at all points in time. It helps us understand where we currently stand and think as a whole as a country. Polls give us a lot of information including how the people think a president is doing. Also, they are real important around election time because it shows where each candidate stands at a certain time and helps us make predictions. Finally, it helps the less informed in making a decision.
