A scientific poll does not qualify if it uses a non-representative sample that fails to reflect the Demographics of the larger population. Additionally, polls that rely on leading or biased questions, lack random sampling methods, or have inadequate sample sizes do not meet scientific standards. Furthermore, polls that do not account for margin of error or fail to disclose methodology are also disqualified as scientific. Finally, self-selected samples, such as online surveys where participants volunteer, are typically not considered scientific.
