AP US Government
Unit 4 – American Political Ideologies and Beliefs
Topic 4.5
How does widespread political apathy among citizens influence public opinion polls?
Political apathy leads to a total cessation of polling activities by media houses and research agencies.
Widespread political apathy automatically invalidates all existing polling data irrespective of their accuracy or relevance.
The polls might not truly reflect the general sentiment as many opinions remain unaccounted for due to indifference towards politics.
Political apathy makes polling data completely unreliable and unusable.
