The statistics on the poll quoted on the program tonight were very different from what I observed on line 1 hour before the show. I have long been a supporter of public broadcasting but that will cease if I cannot get some explanation as to why the poll results quoted on the show were the oppposite of what has been seen on your site. Are you whitewashing results? What is going on?
LPB has an online survey that is separate from the official LSU survey which is used with the actual studio audiance. The questions are the same. The responses will differ widely. The carefully selected control group in the studio responds to the questions before and after the show then the results are compared. Stay tuned for a link to the comparisons for this month’s LSU survey.
