'The most popular politician Rama and Lapaj?', Expert reveals the

The Euronews Albania Barometer has conducted its next election measurement, according to which Edi Rama, Adriatik Lapaj and Agron Shehaj are ranked as the most liked politicians more than 1 month before the elections in Albania. 

This ranking has prompted the reaction of social media expert Blerim Gjeladini, who, through a post, calls the survey absurd and an insult to the public. 

He has listed the arguments how the measurement is not real, but the graph is just propaganda. 

" This is not a poll, this is a colorful Excel!
Pretending to measure the “likeability” of Albanian politicians and publishing this level of absurdity is an insult to the intelligence of the public.
We publicly invite Barometer and Euronews Albania to show:
• How was the measurement done?
• Who is the sample?
• How is “don’t know” measured in the same question where well-known options are offered?
• And above all: Where is the transparency for the system you use?!
Because the figures make no logical or mathematical sense:
• Politicians that no one knows come out with a high % of negativity?!
• The same names have a % that “don’t know” but are among the most “liked”?
For one of them, 22% of the respondents have a negative opinion.
If the sample was 3000 people, then 660 people gave a negative opinion
. But wait a minute…
How can you have a negative opinion about someone you don’t know?!
To give an opinion — positive or negative — you have to "
If 660 people have an opinion about someone the public doesn't know at all , then:
Either the focus group
is messed up, or the entire survey is messed up.
When the measurement is not real, the graph is just propaganda!
On social networks, the reactions are completely different: people no longer accept this model of measuring opinion as "scientific". And rightly so: when you fabricate the survey, you fabricate the result.
Enough with pseudo-surveys. Measurements are not done with Excel and colors, but with scientific, transparent and independent methodology," writes expert Gjeladini.
