Political Affiliation Survey

Assignment:

Write a short paper (about two pages) about the three surveys.  The following questions are some good ones to ask yourself, but do not all have to be answered.

• Do the results of the three surveys correlate with each other? 
• How are they different? 
• How can you explain the differences? 
• Were you surprised by the results? Did the results match where you thought you were? 
• What issues were the most important ones to you?  If the surveys had only been composed of those questions, would the results have been different for you?
• How can you apply the results of these tests to what you feel the purpose of government should be?
• What do you think the terms liberal and conservative really mean in today¹s political climate?
• How do your results correlate with your family’s results?  Does this surprise you?
• Which survey do you think was the most valid and why?
