🧬 What Is Statistical Significance?
It tells you whether your poll results are likely real or just random chance.
✔️ At 95% confidence, your result is significant if the margin of victory is greater than twice the margin of error.
This calculator handles that math for you.
📏 How Does It Measure Sample Quality?
It uses:
- 📊 Sample size
- 🎯 Margin of error
- 🔐 Confidence level
Larger, well-distributed samples with smaller error margins rank higher.
⚖️ What’s a Good Margin of Victory?
A higher margin of victory (difference between leading and next-best option) means a more decisive result.
For close races or tight polls, a small margin may require careful interpretation — especially if within the margin of error.
