"Samples:
Pollsters
question a
small,
random group
of people
meant to
represent
the whole
country or
area.
Questions:
Surveys ask
who people
plan to vote
for or how
they feel
about
specific
laws and
leaders.
Results:
Answers are
analyzed
with math to
estimate
overall
public mood.
Conducting a
poll
requires
three
things:
A
set of
questions to
ask (aquestionnaire)
A
set of
people to
interview (asample)
Some
way of
connecting
the two
(sometimes
called themode

Political
polls date
back to the
19th century
and was
called
"straw
polls" they
were not
scientific
and
basically
gave opinion
that rarely
showed the
results of
what was
surveyed.
Today it has
become a
major
industry
with
political
parties,
politicians,
corporations,
universities
and
organizations
surveying
people on
social
media,
phones,
meetings and
various
other means
of gathering
people's
opinions, on
religion,
voting ,
social,
political
and even
products and
services.
The problem
I see is
that some of
the poll results
can be from
conspiracy
theories
fake news,
and
disinformation
and misinformation
and thus are
inaccurate,
slanted and
and in many
cases false.
Artificial
Intelligence
has also now
being used
to further
corrupt and
confuse the
participants
and thus
skewing the
results of
the polls.
Recently
there are
reports that
numerous
polls have
been proven
to be fake!
I have
listed the
sites
below.* No
real
preventive
systems has
been
established
to assure
what is true
and non bias
so one must
judge the
results by
who produces
the findings
Again
Trust but
Verify!
