Disappointed in SNAP Poll

Thursday, August 14, 2008 I was very disappointed to see a front-page article in last Tuesday’s paper purporting to represent the opinion of the people regarding ALCOA’s relicensing.

First and foremost, your sample size was clearly too small to be statistically significant. Secondly, I do not feel it is ethical for the local paper to “create” an apparent public opinion.

If indeed you want to conduct a poll of this nature perhaps you should allow the statistics class at Stanly Community College to help with your data gathering and analysis.

I can assure you that the sample size for a county of 59,358 people will be larger than 50 people, and they will not exclude citizens that are less than 37 years old.

Additionally, this is not, in my opinion, an issue that can be addressed by a yes or no answer. I would venture to say that a number of our citizens would put conditions on either answer.
