Like me, you may see a link to a Revolver column arguing that immigrants from the East Indian region become very liberal voters. I had to read relatively far into it to see the following admission.
Now, keep in mind the Indian sample here isn’t huge. Depending on the question, it ranged from 105 to 210 people, and the numbers were collected over several years. So this isn’t some massive poll taken last week. But still, it’s concerning.
Actually no, it isn't concerning. Sample numbers that small, especially "collected over several years," render the 'data' essentially meaningless.
----------
There are something like 3.2 million persons from India living in the US. Many cannot yet vote legally, but a serious polling effort would sample something like 700-800 naturalized citizens.
The article's claims may in fact be accurate, or wildly off, but the small numbers sampled make any statistical interpretation of the data produced therefrom irrelevant, conclusions cannot be drawn.
