This entire article is Original Research. It is not Wikipedia's role to take disparate polls and "aggregate" the results based on concepts such as "success and popularity" when the underlying polls did not ask this specific question. -- HighKing⁺⁺ 18:23, 15 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Aggregate?

Latest comment: 5 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I'm wondering how the aggregate is calculated? Adenauer is 2x 1st, 2x 2nd and 1x 3rd, whereas Schmidt is 4x 1st, 1x 3rd and 1x 4th. Is it a weighted average? How are the pools weighted? How are chancellors mentioned in six polls compared with those mentioned in four? 213.147.182.6 (talk) 20:58, 21 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

I've taken the liberty to remove the aggregate, as it was done on Historical rankings of presidents of the United States. The methodology that was used isn't clear, and it's WP:OR in any case. I also think that the article as a whole borders OR, as it just combines a couple of polls with incompatible methodologies, with one of them not even being about chancellors.
