All of the following weakens the politician's argument EXCEPT?

  1. An independent study contradicts the politician's claim

  2. Public opinion polls show support for the politician

  3. Historical data confirms a pattern that aligns with the claim

  4. An error in statistical analysis is found in the politician's data

The correct answer is: Public opinion polls show support for the politician

The politician's argument would be weakened by options A, C, and D because they provide evidence or reasons that challenge or undermine the politician's claim. Option B, on the other hand, states that public opinion polls show support for the politician, which would actually strengthen the politician's argument rather than weaken it. Public support would bolster the credibility of the politician's claim, making option B the correct answer in this case.
