Why the president, who is in office is always so popular in Gallup-polls?

There are always polls before some important elections, and those methods to collect the people's opinions about the candidates is a very common way to predict who will be elected to the presidential position of some country. Always the maker of those interviews faces the situation, where the president who is already in the office is the most popular person in the election campaigns.

And just behind this person is always some person who has been in publicity very often. What is the reason for this kind of behavior, is the quite interesting question. The polls will prefer the persons who are well known because those names what are common in the publicity, will come first in the mind of the people, who give answers to the interviewers. That will give very much popularity to the person, who already is in the position of the president.

That phenomenon always trowels, when other candidates would get their opinions to the public mind. When other candidates will get publicity and their opinions will meet more people, their popularity will start to increase, because their names would become in the mind of the people. We must also know that survey -investigations are not the same than election campaigns. There will the people give some answers even without thinking about what they are talking.

And this is the reason, why we must stop talking about depending on telephone-surveys and real elections. When we are talking about the polls, we might start to talk about the "survey-elections". The mistakes of those investigation methods can be very big because the introductions can be targeted to the persons, who will probably support the sitting president. Those groups are the officers and the members of the presidential party.

That might give false results for the Gallup-makers. When those polls will be targeted to those groups, what might give the wrong results, that distortion might cause the situation, where newspapers and other public media will start to give extra publicity for some presidential candidate, because they want to have better positions in the next period of this person's presidency. That means little bit better places on the presidential press conferences and more interesting news in the newspapers. And those might be the reason, why those polls are distorted by in purpose.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

(Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft. Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things. In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion. If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful. Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down. The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts. The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
