Here is the headline of an MPR news story, "MPR News/Star Tribune poll: 56 percent approve of Walz performance" Tim Pugmire | MPR News Feb 25, 2020. This story is from before the current COVID-19 crisis and we don't know how much opinions might have changed recently. A new MPR News/Star Tribune Minnesota Poll shows 56 percent of those surveyed said they approve of his job performance, 25 percent disapprove and 19 percent are unsure. The poll of 800 registered voters was conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling and Strategy from Feb. 17-19. There were at least six other questions asked in the poll, ranging from questions on spending priorities to questions on mining and marijuana legalization. Since there are many questions asked in the poll, we don't construct several confidence interval estimates for each proportion, we calculate the sample proportions and report one margin of error for the entire poll or survey.

Question
Here is the headline of an MPR news story, "MPR News/Star Tribune poll: 56
percent approve of Walz performance" Tim Pugmire | MPR News Feb 25, 2020.
This story is from before the current COVID-19 crisis and we don't know how much
opinions might have changed recently.
A new MPR News/Star Tribune Minnesota Poll shows 56 percent of those surveyed
said they approve of his job performance, 25 percent disapprove and 19 percent are
unsure.
The poll of 800 registered voters was conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling and
Strategy from Feb. 17-19. There were at least six other questions asked in the poll,
ranging from questions on spending priorities to questions on mining and marijuana
legalization.
Since there are many questions asked in the poll, we don't construct several
confidence interval estimates for each proportion, we calculate the sample
proportions and report one margin of error for the entire poll or survey.
Choose the best response below for what the "margin of error" means.
O It is a measure for how large a sample we would have to take to get the estimate that we
want to get.
O It is a measure for the standard deviation in the appropriate sampling distribution.
O It is a measure for how far on the average a value is from the middle of the distribution.
O It is a measure for how far off our sample estimate could be from the true population
parameter.
