The Pros and Cons of Polls-Political Science

Write a 500- to 750-word paper in which you discuss the pros and cons of polls, their accuracy, and their relevance in taking the public “pulse” on important topics. Incorporate how interest groups and other lobbying efforts impact polls and voting outcomes. Consider how things in the media may influence public opinion and who is more likely to vote in demographics (e.g., voting trends of older adults versus younger adults).
