Article Abstract:
Pollsters combine people skills and artfulness with statistics, and give more weight to answers from particular groups so that the sample reflects the overall population they are trying to represent. However, the experts feel that there could be volatility in political polls due to the flaws in the way pollsters identify likely voters, which is caused by the interviewees not telling the complete truth.
