If this poll is only of 1300 people, vs the recent Gallup poll of something like 80,000 then it's pretty inaccurate. This Gallup poll still had 62% supporting Ukraine's reclamation of territory.
The Gallup poll was in regard to support Ukraine reclaiming territory, while this one is regarding US funding the conflict. The two are related for sure but still very different questions being asked.
eInteresting. I hadn't connected it quite like that. But still, the disparity in poll sizes to me suggests that a poll size of 1300 is very low and possibly fairly low accuracy—certainly much more dependent on where they poll, who they get from that location, etc.
I mean, this is typical of statistics. The random sampling here means there's a 95% chance the survey result will be within 3.7% of the actual values. According to statistics principles, the minimum sample size is 25 to be able to generate statistically significant data. Granted, the smaller the sample size, the greater the margin of error.
