      Actually, that link clearly states it’s a problem with all polling but they use Pew as an example because they are widely recognized. The basic of the story is if only 10% of the people you contact are willing to answer your survey question, then how can you say that your poll represents the people’s opinion. Perhaps the 90% who did not want to take your survey might have changed the results. I think that is understood by most people. But that isn’t a reliability issue with Pew, it’s a reliability issue with people.

    Been living in San Felipe full time for almost 5 years. Love it here and dread the once a year trip back across the border.

    I live in Mexico. The people here are happy! The fiesta’s, love of life and overall day to day joy is refreshing. I am weary of the media portraying it in a very one dimensional biased sensational light. I feel safer here than in the US. But then again I like being able to walk my village day and night, having strangers smile, help out in times of need and celebrate with families and friend, music and good fresh food.

  5. A) Although I’m perfectly aware that if you got all your impressions of a place from media reports you would not be seeing a true picture, it seems so odd when there is so much in the media about the drug murders and corruption and people in resorts being robbed, etc.
    B) I think the word “happy” and all grammatical variations of it should be stricken from the English language.

  6. This report by Pew Research is done by actually asking people about their happiness. Someone sent us a link saying Pew is wrong because another group did the same study and the Swiss were the happiest. The other group used 30 different measuring standards, such as economy, health, jobs, and education, all things that do not equal personal happiness. We all know very well educated people with great jobs who are miserable. The Pew simply asked people if they were happy, that is the real test, not who has the most money. :)
