Example of Data report type-up
Excerpt from Gallup poll website, referring to approval rating of past presidents during several different periods:
“Americans tend to be more charitable in their evaluations of past presidents than they are when the presidents are in office. Former presidents likely transcend politics when the leave office, moving into a more nonpolitical role compared with the highly political environment in which presidents operate.” –Introduction www.gallup.com

Approval rating of President Obama’s job on Drug trade control
Tested this by sampling a randomized sample population of 1,000 within the United States and Colombia. 500 U.S. residents and 500 Colombian natives
Received 52% of Americans approving of his job with drug trade and 48% disapproving
60% of Colombians disapprove of Obama’s job of drug trade and 40% approve

Data report These statistics represent and show that
overall, both Colombia and the U.S. disagree with presidents Obama’s job on drug trade, based off test results.
The Margin of Error was within 3 standard deviations of the mean, proving accuracy of results and comparison.
My suggestion to Mr. President Obama is to reach out to both countries to create a overarching solution for both countries.

Why is this relevant to my field and why should you care?
Statistics proves more accurate representation and adds structure and sense to how political issues affect the world, using numbers and raw data.
Data reporting gives a more precise, articulate explanation of how data is used and manipulated for a pollster or political scientists use.
This genre is professionally used for campaign staff and the public. Allows for explanation of political events/issues/ inquiring questions and gives individuals a more simplified, understandable representation.
Though, complicated process.
