Population Error
This varies and is stated in the published info. A good reporter will quote the numbers. The acuracy is normally stated as for example: 90% acurate 8 out of ten times This would mean the statistic will not be more than 10% wrong for example: If they say 30% of the people think the president is doing a good job it could mean the 27% to 33% think that. And that they do not get it completely wrong more than 2 times in ten trys. So when you see a poll look for the error percentage and see if it makes the information irrelevent.
The term for an informal type of opinion poll is a "straw poll." It is often used to gauge the opinions or preferences of a group without the scientific rigor of a formal poll.
A straw vote asks the exact same question to a large group of people. Meanwhile, a scientific poll asks well-worded questions to random people from various places to get a more exact picture of public opinion.
The name for the whole group that a poll seeks to measure is the "population." It refers to the entire set of individuals or items that the poll is aiming to gather information on.
An informal poll detemined to assess general feelings or consensus.The term "Straw Poll", comes from holding up straw to see which way the wind is blowing, i.e. general consensus.

There is no definitive answer, as the accuracy of a poll can vary depending on the methods used and the population being sampled.

Polling is part science and part art. To be effective a Poll must be statistically valid and must be free of bias.The Statistical validity of the poll can be verified by examining the data for the poll. Pollsters usually indicate the number of participants (for example 1024 people in Canada were surveyed) , the make of the poll participants (this was a random poll which had approximately 100 people from each province) , the accuracy of the result (+/- 2.3%), The confidence interval (19 time out of 20); Be wary of polls that do not provide this level of information.Bias is subjective or a flaw in the methodology and could take many forms which skew creating sampling errors, for example. Nonresponse bias: skewed results because of those who do not respondResponse bias: Skewed because of those who respond to often.Wording of questions: Skewed data because of how a question is phrased.Coverage bias: Skewed data because of the group sampled was not representative.To be accurate an representative the poll must be statistically sound, and be free from bias.
