Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A poll is most likely to measure a person's opinions about a healthcare law as it is a specific topic that can easily be measured through a survey. While attitudes towards a doctor or feelings about people diagnosed with cancer are important, they are more subjective and difficult to measure accurately through a poll. Preferences for Advil or Tylenol are also subjective and not likely to be of great interest to researchers or policymakers.
