Comparison of election predictions, voter certainty and candidate choice on political polls
Article Abstract:
A study is conducted on the use of 0-10 probability scales to determine people's voting behavior. Results show that probability scales decrease the number of undecided responses by 50% compared to forced-choice scales. Responses to the standard question 'Who would you vote for if the election was held today?' also contain a high degree of uncertainty that lead to errors in election polls which are not accounted for by sampling errors.
