AP US Government
Unit 4 – American Political Ideologies and Beliefs
Topic 4.6
How might public policy differ if politicians did not rely heavily on public opinion data for decision-making?
There will be no changes; legislators do not refer to such data at all while forming policies.
All policymakers would lose their positions due to lack of accountability checks from public opinion polls.
Policies may become less representative of popular views and more aligned with personal or party ideologies.
Policies will display a perfect representation of all citizens' wishes without biases.
