Ang sayo nga mga political surveys

IYO ANTOY - Antolin dela Serna - Banat

Ang 2028 elections, layo pa, usa pa ka tuig ug walo ka bulan gikan karon. Apan tungod sa pagdeklarar ni VP Sara Duterte nga molansar siya pagka-presidente, nilihok dayon ang mga pollster pag-conduct og mga survey, bisan ug wala pay klaro kinsa ang muatbang ni Sara.

Ngano man ni? Sa iyang lindog saThe Freeman,atong higala, si Atty. Aven Piramide, nagkanayon: “This early, we have been shown political surveys. There are observers claiming that some of these polls are sponsored and the survey results tend to project the image of the sponsor. So, I am horrified to think that make-believe statistics are employed to influence the minds of unsuspecting citizens.”

Nangutana ko sa google, kon ang mga survey maka-influence ba sa public opinion, ug sa desisyon unya sa mga voters kinsa ang ilang botohan.

Tubag: “Yes, surveys can influence public opinion, though their impact depends heavily on how the information is framed, reported, and received.” So, agad giunsa paghan-ay, o pag-frame ang mga kasayoran ug mga pangutana in the survey.

Kon ang resulta sa survey sa usa ka credible nga pollster (sa to pa, dili binayran), magpakita nga pabor sa usa ka kandidato, maka-create kini og bandwagon effect. Mao nga ang mga kandidato maningkamot gayud mamaayo ang ilang showing sa mga survey.

How accurate are polls and surveys? “Polls and surveys can be useful snapshots of public opinion when done right, but they often have a real margin of error.” So, if done right, dili pagtumotumo, o pag-magic sa mga survey results.

Dugang pa, “Polls highlight specific issues, prompting the public and media to talk about topics they might otherwise ignore. Gumikan sa mga surveys, daghang mga isyo nga i-take up sa publiko ug sa media, nga otherswise, ila kining gi-ignore.

On the ither hand, however, ang ubang mga botante dili kaayo mohatag og igong gibug-aton sa resulta sa mga survey. Matud sa Google, “Personal values first: Most individuals rely on core beliefs, family background, and personal experiences rather than poll numbers when making major decisions.”

Ug nia pa: “People often dismiss survey results that contradict their existing views or distrust polls due to perceived bias.”

Mao kini ang angayan hunahunaon sa mga kandidato, nga tingali ang ato karong mga botante, mo-think na, ug motamod na sa pagka-sagrado sa balota.

Maghisgot kita’g eleksyon sa America.Aniay extract gikan Executive Order sa US President: “Free, fair, and honest elections unmarred by fraud, errors, or suspicion are fundamental to maintaining our constitutional Republic.

“The right of American citizens to have their votes properly counted and tabulated, is vital to determining the rightful winner of an election. State governments must safeguard American elections, protect Americans’ voting rights and guard against illegal voting, discrimination, fraud, and other forms of malfeasance and error.

“Maintaining accurate voter registration lists is a fundamental requirement in protecting voters from having their ballots voided.

Sa Germany ug Canada diay, giingon dinhi nga “In tabulating votes, they require use of paper ballots, counted in public by local officials, which substantially reduces the number of disputes.
