Surveys and polls play a critical role in elections by gauging public opinion and shaping campaign strategies. They provide invaluable data about voter preferences, priorities, and concerns, helping candidates and parties tailor their messages and priorities to meet constituents' needs. Polling results can influence how campaigns allocate resources, prioritize issues, and engage with voters. Furthermore, scientific polling adds legitimacy to electoral processes, informing both decision-makers and the public about prevailing sentiments and trends in the electorate.
