polling techniques

Polling techniques refer to methods used to gather opinions or information from a group of people about a specific topic. Common techniques include surveys, where participants answer questions via phone, online, or in-person; focus groups, which involve small discussions to explore opinions in depth; and exit polls, conducted after an event, like an election, to gauge voters' choices. These techniques help researchers understand public sentiment, predict outcomes, and inform decision-making. The goal is to ensure the sample represents the larger population to provide accurate insights.
