How opinion polls work
Opinion polls companies are major stakeholders, if not actors, in the 2013 General Election campaigns.
Polls are regularly reported and commented on in the media. They are an inseparable part of news coverage as there is no more accurate way to gauge the sentiments of the voters, at a given time, than through a carefully designed and executed opinion poll.
But polls are also criticized, especially by political party leaders who disregard results that do not favor them and by some civil society actors who say they promote a two-horse race campaign. The situation has forced opinion poll researchers and company managers to appear on political TV and radio shows to defend their methodology, and their integrity.
Kenyans can remember that in the run up to the 2007 General Election, the media’s lack of capacity to contextualize and analyze data led to confusion when the results didn’t match predictions. The media had failed to explain the difference between polling data and election results.
Internews in Kenya recently trained a group of radio journalists to improve the use, analysis and reporting of opinion polls. Over 25 journalists were taught to scrutinize the methodology of different polling firms.
When has a poll been conducted according to accepted professional standards? When does a poll’s findings have legitimate news value? What is an appropriate way to publish or broadcast newsy poll findings?
Internews in Kenya Democracy and Governance Programs Director Brice Rambaud responds in the following Power Point presentation.

Part 1 Individual Factors Affecting Voter Turnout Based on .docx
Part 1: Individual Factors Affecting Voter Turnout
Based on our class discussion of voter turnout, you are going to examine individual factors
affecting turnout and how they have changed over the past 50 years. To do so, you will be using
historical data provided by the United States Census Bureau. This data is located here:
http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/socdemo/voting/publications/historical/index.html
You will need to download the Excel spreadsheet files (XLS or CSV) for Table A-1 and Table
A-2.
Contained in Table A-1 are rates of self-reported voter turnout in elections from 1964 to 2014 by
age. You will analyze the percent of the total population that voted for age groups 18-24, 25-44,
45-64, and 65 years and over.
Contained in Table A-2 are rates of self-reported voter turnout in elections from 1964 to 2014 by
educational attainment. You will analyze the percent of the total population that voted for
educational attainment levels less than 9th grade, 9th to 12th grade, no diploma, high school
graduate or GED, some college or associate’s degree, and bachelor’s degree or more.
You should cut and paste each of these columns into a new spreadsheet for the elections from
1964 to 2014. Once this is done, sort the data by ascending year. Finally, you should only keep
presidential elections (1964, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008,
2012).
Using a spreadsheet program, create two different line graphs showing how voter turnout rates
have changed over time by age and level of educational attainment respectively. The x-axis
should be the years from 1964 through 2012 (presidential elections only) and the y-axis should
be percent that voted. In the respective line graph, a separate line should be drawn for the each
category age (18-24, 25-44, 45-64, and 65 years and over) and educational attainment (less than
9th grade, 9th to 12th grade, no diploma, high school graduate or GED, some college or associate’s
degree, and bachelor’s degree or more).
Cut and paste each of the line graphs into your homework document labeled 1a and 1b. For each
line graph, describe in a few sentences the 48-year trend in voter turnout.
1c. In a few sentences, explain why we would expect to see differences in turnout among
different categories of age and level of education.
Part 2: Institutional Factors Affecting Voter Turnout
In this section you will be studying the relationship between institutional factors and voter
turnout. Specifically, you will test the effect of rules governing requests for absentee ballots on
turnout.
You will use data collected by Cemenska et al. (2009). The study describing the data and a
subset of the data based on the 2008 election are posted on Classes in the folder
“Resources/Research Assignment.” The data file you will work with is called
Pew_Early_Vote.xls.
Over the past several decades, states have changed several electoral laws regarding .
