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

00:05

brought to you by underlying views They're like panoramas of

00:09

the ocean floor all right pull that attempts to identify

00:12

underlying views and attitudes rather than views on a particular

00:15

issue measures what and here the potential answers All right

00:21

well let's face it We don't always say exactly what

00:24

we're thinking but politicians and pollsters have a method known

00:27

on dsp feel out those beneath the surface thoughts So

00:32

does a pole attempting to identify underlying views and attitudes

00:35

on a particular issue measure a distribution Well let's say

00:38

there was a poll for whether or not we think

00:40

pinocchio should tell the truth The distribution would show us

00:45

how many people favor the occasional fib but we're looking

00:49

for a pole that's a little less on the nose

00:51

could have pulled that identifies underlying views on an issue

00:54

measure salience will pulls measuring salience get down to brass

00:57

tacks on whether or not brass tacks are important to

01:00

you We just need to find a pole that will

01:02

show what those brass tacks are covering up do polls

01:05

that attempt to reveal underlying views measure intensity well intensity

01:09

and pulling refers to how strongly we feel about a

01:11

particular issue like how passionately we support year round three

01:15

day weekends but we've got to figure out how intensely

01:18

we feel about feelings we feel we can't share All

01:21

right now what about be stability if we needed to

01:23

figure out whether people still think brad pitt is a

01:25

dreamboat Well we could take a pole measuring stability but

01:28

honestly we probably shouldn't waste our time administering that pole

01:31

Something just never change which means that a pull attempting

01:34

to identify underlying views and attitudes measures e leighton See

01:38

polls measuring leighton see help politicians corman idea of what

01:42

concerns could influence our thinking on issues that might come

01:45

up in the future For example if we wanted to

01:47

ban all imports of dutch cheese a latent see pole

01:51

would help us figure out whether or not people felt

01:53

they gotta have it All right so option is that

01:55

correct answer Politicians rely on polls to help avoid costly

01:59

mistakes but sometimes the answers to those questions lead to

02:01

other questions Well they might not want to answer theo
