After the debate Monday night many of the news sites released their own poll to see who the people thought won the debate. Interestingly enough many of the polls showed Donald Trump was in the lead by a decent margin. Yes these polls are just for fun, but they may still be quite important because it shows who the people favor. The Fox News poll has Trump winning 50% to Clinton's 35%. Its understandable to think the Fox News poll is slightly bias, because Fox tends to favor the Republicans. Also Time.com has Trump winning 52% to 48% after more than 1,300,000 votes were cast. This leads me to my question, do these polls mean anything to you? Or are they something you look at and don't think anything of? I personally think they are kind of important because like I said, they allow you to see what other people think.
The credibility of the polls is what interests me. Having a news agency reporting polls from their website is reporting bias. Just very interesting when agencies like Fox, or CNN can report on polls, and taking them as being valid and true off their own website from their own viewers, using their own bias.
