'I'm sorry to say this question violates three basic principles of questionnaire design,' pollster Gary Langer told CNBC.
President Donald Trump on Monday touted poll results that appeared to show more Americans than ever siding with his oft-repeated accusation that special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe is nothing more than a"witch hunt."
The survey found that 50 percent of respondents said they agreed with the president's view of Mueller's probe of Russian election meddling and possible Trump campaign collusion in the 2016 presidential election. Trump TWEET Wow! A Suffolk/USA Today Poll, just out, states,"50% of Americans AGREE that Robert Mueller's investigation is a Witch Hunt." Very few think it is legit! We will soon find out? "I'm sorry to say this question violates three basic principles of questionnaire design," said Gary Langer, president of Langer Research Associates, which polls for ABC News and others.
Murray TWEET 2. The unbalanced response option -- we have oodles of evidence that the number of positive responses goes up with the"agree" option is presented without explicitly presenting"disagree" as a choice as well. "The statement links President Trump to his viewpoint on the investigation. If respondents were conflicted in any way, they opted for 'undecided' or 'refused,'" Paleologos said.
