Public opinion polls provide useful
raw data about all sorts of subjects
and events. One recent student used
public opinion poll data to analyze
ethnicity and socioeconomic status in
Orange County, California concerning
Proposition 227, a 1998 ballot measure
about English language instruction
in public schools.
