Your whole comment was nonsense. Just like all your arguments in this thread.

Interesting. So, you're saying the evaluative criteria falls totally within a total deviation of 10. In that regard, 70 (Winston Salem) is a great score and an area with 61 almost as bad as it gets?

Obviously you dont know how they work.
Woah woah woah! Hahaha. You just proved my point. Statistics provide grounds to make logical assumptions and many times require assumptions to provide logical interpretations. You, along with the very poll in question, are doing just that. You are assuming that the small amount of people surveyed for this poll (300 to 2168 people at most (reference Gallup)) are a proper representation of the entire population in question, whether that be Huntington(365,419), Charleston(240,000), or even Hagerstown-Martinsburg (269,140; which was also ranked quite low by this poll.)

Statistics and assumptions go hand-in-hand. This can be found in any stats 101 book and is easily accessible ALL OVER THE INTERNET!
