Important, yet no where to be foundDaniel Weintraub mentions a Los Angeles Times poll on the recall that includes a side sample to 125 Latinos "for analysis". Ironically, the existence of such a sample contradicts the reason for creating such a sample. Presumably the Times wants to find out the opinions of Latinos on the recall because they think Latinos are an important group in the election. However, the reason why they had to create the sample was that unlike other racial groups, there were not enough Latinos in the main poll to produce a sample with a reasonable margin of error. So my question is, why are Latinos important in the recall election if there aren't that many of them voting? |
