Listen "It’s All in the Wording (Ep 15)"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Poll Hub, the team does something they have never done before – calling out poor question wording.
At issue is a question included in the October Harvard-Harris Poll which asks:
Some people say that the Iran nuclear deal is not perfect and the Iranians are building up their nuclear capability secretly, but we should not rock the boat now and just let it all slide along. Others say if Iranians are not compliant we have to call them out on it and push to renegotiate the deal with real verification. What would be your preferred course of action?
Confused? You are not alone. Poll Hub explains why this question is so confounding and why it should never be included in a survey.
