BACKGROUND

What's a public opinion poll?

Public opinion poll is a type of survey or inquiry designed to measure the public's views regarding particular topics or series of topics and the respondents are randomly chosen from the population being measured.

Opinion polls can indeed guide in directing the discussions around governance, democracy, election related issues and any other issue under public debate. Opinion poll therefore make a significant contribution in providing an understanding of public opinion by revealing key drivers behind their opinion and attitudes and the likely choices.

It is important to note that opinions shift.

OPINION POLLs

From our experience, we realize that the process of opinion polling often appears mysterious, particularly to those who don't see how the views of few people can represent those of hundreds of millions.

Many people will ask;How the poll results can differ so much from their own personal

impressions of what people think;How did the poll star (RWI) selects people for inclusion in its pollsHow come they have never been interviewed?

The public's questions indicate a sincere desire to find out more about how polling is conducted, which becomes a vital area for consideration at the point of dissemination of results to enhance understanding and believability. This shows that the process of conducting the polls is as good as the results themselves.
