America news media could never be too dependent on polls. Polls are a major way to voice our public opinion. It will give the most accurate opinions, even though there could be a small percent error. It is appropriate for news agencies to create polls and then report on them, because it lets us know what their opinion is on the matter at hand. It also gives us a little more inside on the situation.
2. How important is political party identification to you (e.g. as a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, etc.)? Was it more or less important to your parents & grandparents? Does it seem more or less important to your friends? Why or why not?
Political party identification is not important to me. Different situations call for different answers and different factors influence my decision other than political party identification. It is not very important to my parents and grandparents either, I guess this is one of the influences that makes me not care for political party identification. It does seem a little more important to my friend due to the influence factors around them.
3. Do you feel that you opinion of politics is more influenced by economic issues or by social issues? Why?
Social issues and economic issues influence my opinion in several ways. Economic issues greatly influence my opinion, when money is down I focus more on the economic issues. I am always concerned with the government and how they spend their money. The issues I always look out for is scholarships and college financial aid when it comes to economic issues. Social issues greatly influence my opinion as well. I will always have a strong opinion about abortion, gay rights, gun laws, and equality.
Polls might help opinion our public voice, but not all the public does them. Without the the public as a whole the results are inreliable.
