Thank you We sneak and here's your shmoop du jour

00:05

brought to you by stability home valuation for horses a

00:11

poll that attempt to determine if an issue is relevant

00:14

to voters measures what What does it measure distribution Sailing

00:21

alright well pole's not people from warsaw get that out

00:24

of here pulls khun b particularly useful for politicians trying

00:28

to desperately you're honestly figure out which issues are most

00:32

important of voters so let's get into it Who pulls

00:35

that attempted to terminate and issue is relevant to voters

00:38

Measure a distribution well Distribution tells us what percentage of

00:42

people support or oppose a position which is useful for

00:44

politicians trying to figure out which way to vote on

00:47

a bill but that's not necessarily relevant to the question

00:50

at hand Could a poll that determines in issues relevancy

00:53

be measuring See intensity like fully caffeinated let's say if

00:57

school was voting on whether or not to ban cell

01:00

phones don't panic This is just hypothetical A pole measuring

01:04

intensity around the band would reveal surprise how intensely people

01:08

felt about the issue not how relevant that issue might

01:12

be to voters as a whole will do polls attempting

01:15

to capture relevancy measure stability well actually pulls measuring stability

01:20

tells us to what extent views on a particular issue

01:23

are changing Oh yes opinions on her mom's tuna casserole

01:27

might have been consistently negative for the last decade but

01:30

that doesn't necessarily mean the issue would make the general

01:32

public feels fishy as well What about the latent see

01:36

Well pulls dealing with leighton see try to suss out

01:39

what concerns leaking below the surface could potentially affect voters

01:43

opinions in the future For example if we were thinking

01:47

about passing a bill limiting the amount of sugar we

01:49

could put in serial we might want to pull the

01:51

public on just how fruity they like their loops So

01:54

sorry you're out What this means is that pulls attempting

01:57

to determine if an issue is relevant to voters measure

01:59

b salience salience is just a fancy word Meaning is

02:03

this important or relevant to me Because the point salient

02:07

and that little nugget helps pollsters figure out which issues

02:11

voters want to see addressed The option b is the

02:14

correct answer Once politicians figure out which topics are important

02:17

to voters they can change their beliefs entirely in order

02:20

To get elected Or they can just stick to their 00:02:22.82 --> [endTime] principles That works teo
