Question

A poll of 803 adults in the United States found that a majority—60%—said that changes should be made in government surveillance programs. The poll reported a margin of error of 3.5%.

Explain in plain English what we can conclude from this poll.

Answer 1

We can conclude that most American adults want changes in government surveillance programs. But we can't conclude what specific changes in those programs they want (more surveillance? less? it doesn't say.)
