To assess the credibility of this alleged survey, hibrid.info has verified whether it meets the standards and criteria required for such a measurement of public opinion.
What are surveys?
A survey is a preliminary research to identify a situation, opinions or attitudes about something specific. In this statistical method, results are drawn based on the study of a part of the population, called a sample.
Based on an article by the Pew Research Institute (a research institute for fact-based surveys and studies), it clarifies what information should be sought about how a survey was conducted.
Who conducted the survey and who sponsored it?
Who was interviewed?
How was the survey conducted?
How were people selected for the survey?
When was the survey conducted?
How many people were interviewed?
Was the survey weighted? If so, how?
Do the survey questions seem neutral and fair?
Hibrid.info noted that this content did not meet the main criteria of a legitimate survey, as it does not provide any information on who conducted or sponsored this preliminary research. The image lacks essential technical data such as the sample (how many people were interviewed), the way people were selected, the time period when the survey was conducted, and the interviewing method. Furthermore, the lack of neutral questions and the use of emotionally charged language in the graphic cast doubt on the authenticity of the results, preventing verification of whether the survey was weighted or whether it accurately represents the opinion of a portion of the population.
