Republican Argument Analysis

“By voting, we add our voice to the chorus that forms opinions and the basis for actions” - Jens Stoltenberg. This quote by Stoltenberg shows us how by voting we are giving our own opinion towards the matter and your opinions will help the actions. Everybody’s opinion matters and they all should receive the right treatment. A poll should be fair to treat everybody's opinion the same since it decides the outcome and the actions to be taken. Something should be done to prevent from an over strict system that allows tremendously few choices and filters for certain ideas.
Influences affect human beings everywhere; from the “cool kids” wanting you to do something you're not comfortable with, to voicing your opinion within a political poll.
People everywhere are wanting to try and influence your opinion towards their side. A main personnel who wants you to be on their side is candidate for an upcoming election. Just within this last election, “ Hillary Clinton’s campaign has spent $61 million on general election campaign ads” (Morrow). This is a prime example of a candidate trying to change your opinion and outlook; because while she's spending all this money advertising for her own opinions, she's influencing people everywhere towards her ideas. Within her advertisements not all of it is welcoming as in some of the ads are anti for the opposing candidate. This spreads negative opinions against their opponent. People are out to change your opinion for their own gain and many fall from the constant push of opinions. Eventually with everyone pushing their ideas they overcome the ideas of others and turn them into followers for their cause.

While many fall and crumble to the excessive advertisement in a campaign others stay loyal and vote for who they truly want.
Polls can be rigged and represent false data to try and woe the voters into a new opinion. Many people in this last election had very set opinions and dislike the opposing candidate immensely. “Nevertheless, many observers maintained that Trump had little chance at winning the Republican nomination, much less the presidency.” “Such predictions proved misguided. As the presidential primaries unfolded throughout 2016, Trump won contest after contest, eventually building an insurmountable lead on his way to becoming the Republican nominee” (“Political Polls”). This can show the lack of countability within polls as they can provide false data. Many people after the election reported to be true republican for Trump ,or true Democratic for Clinton. These people reported to be to ashamed of who they were wanting and voting for so they falsely voted until it came down to the real event where they provided their real opinion. Political polls with strong influence of polls can actually alter a person's view and opinion and achieve them to vote towards items they were not following. Evidence of this lies within theories pondered during 1993. “These hypotheses were tested during experiments conducted during the 1992 U.S. presidential election and the 1993 New York City mayoral election. The results demonstrate that political polls do alter voting behavior” (Morwitz). This shows how even back then people's views were being changed and altered ,but unlike back then now we have the internet which pushes a heavy influence on our today's voters. Polls may have some flaws and quirks but they provide a helpful idea of how the county is feeling about each candidate and them expressing their opinion towards that said
candidate. People are only as fragile as their will. If a strong willed person who wants their ideas to be pushed he will achieve the movement of his idea. On the counter side if a person is weak willed they are more likely to fall into the enticing pull of another person's movement. With this constant push of people's ideas polls start to become one sided as influences spread. The solution to help polls is to have them become more opinionated. Having polls include more questions than just who they want to vote for will help encourage more weak willed people to vote for they want instead of being overcome with other people's opinions. People will start to think that this could become to over opinionated and corrupt the entire system of voting. Humans beings are scared of change or to be a stand out, it is just natural. But without change nothing will ever be different so to start a new system to show more voter opinion will help choose a current candidate or bill trying to become a law. Starting a new system will also help future bills and candidates change from being more billboard face worthy to truly being a strong political candidate that will be able to righteously run this country. Opinions are views and judgment people from within themselves that will affect what they do and how they do it. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion and nobody has the right to take that away from you. Polls should be user friendly to the wide variety of opinions each and everybody has. Polls should influence you to be unique and make choices you want and not force you to follow the pact of person A or person B. Change starts with you, so embrace it and make the system more superior.
