The big survey

I just completed the survey from National. I am a survey writer. I thought that it was not a really good survey. I really think that it had a bias based what seemed ot me to be a preconcieved notion that we all drive and own a car. I do neither. Why didn't the survey ask if any other mode of transportation was used to get to meets? I've actually taken more trains to get to meets than any other form of transportation. Two parts really bothered me Part C, question 30-30 and Part D, questions 1-3.

    Originally posted by cjquill I participated in the survey, but wondered why I received two e-mails (identical) asking me to participate. It certainly would skew the data if respondents filled out multiple surveys. Did anyone else receive multiple e-mails? I did also. I hope no one does the survey twice. Did any one else receive two requests? I bet that if two of us did than all of us who gotr the request did. Supposedly, there is no more likelyhood that soem one will take a survey if it is sent throuhg the mail, e-mail or telephone. ther si a vfery sstrong likelihood that if peole get two copies of a survey, they will do both. I owudl like to know how, at tne end, how many surveys were sent & how many peole responded. I truly believe that no survey is any good if geographic inforfmatin is not collected. Where peole live is one of the major determinig factors on what they do and how they do it! If geographic infomatin was a determining factor in selection, then the survey has a bias-just talk to John Kerry about that.
