Poll Results

Analysis of the Poll and Gallup 10% less of U.S. adults think getting children vaccinated is extremely important in 2015 compared to 2001. What if they had conducted this poll with U.S. adults that have school-aged children rather than just U.S. adults 18 and older? This poll was conducted after a fairly large measles outbreak that originated from groups of unvaccinated children. Questions are arising with Gallup’s reliability with polling. In recent elections, Gallup’s polls have done worse compared to other top contenders. Some online polls have started showing more accuracy compared to telephone-based polls.
