Wikify date October 2010 A poll average is the result of someone taking the combined information from many different opinion poll s that deal with the same issue and synthesizing the information into a new set of numbers. ref Lynch, Scott M. Introduction to Bayesian Statistics and Estimation for Social Scientists 2007 ref The problem with this is that each poll is usually conducted in a slightly different manner, which technically cannot be combined into one poll. Polls in themselves contain uncertainty because they are only using a sample of the population. The uncertainty is measurable, which we usually call the margin of error. An inaccurate way to conduct a poll average is to treat each poll as though they were exactly the same in uncertainty. The reason for this is that this type of poll average gives less weight to the polls that have less uncertainty. However, if you account for the variation in polls due to each poll s unique sample size, you can combine the polls into a poll average. This means the only assumption you are making is that each poll was conducted in a similar manner. You can also measure the uncertainty of this poll average. An example of a poll average that is done using the more accurate method is found here http www.daytodaypolitics.com polls presidential election Obama vs McCain 2008.htm 2008 Presidential Election poll average.

orphan date October 2009 An entrance poll is a poll that is taken before voters have cast their vote s at the polling station s. It is akin to an opinion poll in the sense that it asks who the voter plans to vote for or some similar set of questions. The possibility that the prospective voter might change his mind after the poll is very small compared to that of an opinion poll, therefore the margin of error of an entrance poll is expected to be lower than that of an opinion poll. However, the methodology of conducting an entrance poll is closer to that of an exit poll , where actual voters are being queried as opposed to potential voters in an opinion poll. Entrance poll result estimate s can be obtained very quickly as people can be interviewed earlier and more quickly, as opposed to exit polls. However, these polls are possibly subject to higher margins of errors compared to exit polls as early voters are given a Selection bias higher preference than in exit polls.

Image Koe kop.JPG thumb right A cow with a prominent poll The poll is a name of the part of an animal s head, alternatively referencing a point immediately behind or right between the ears. This area of the anatomy is of particular significance for the horse . Specifically, the poll refers to the occipital protrusion at the back of the skull. However, in common usage, many horsemen refer to the poll joint, between the vertebral column atlas C1 and skull as the poll. The area at the joint has a slight depression, and is a sensitive location. Thus, because the crownpiece of a bridle passes over the poll joint, a equestrianism rider can indirectly exert pressure on the horse s poll by means of the rein s, bit horse bit , and bridle. Importance of the poll in riding The poll is especially important in riding, as correct flexion at the poll joint is a sign that the horse is properly on the bit . Over flexion, with the poll lowered and the neck bent at a cervical vertebra farther down the neck, is usually a sign that the horse is either evading contact or that the rider is trying to pull the horse onto the bit, rather than correctly ride from behind. In classical dressage , the poll should always be the highest point on the horse when the horse is on the bit. The horse is always relaxed over the poll, giving it a relaxed look when going about its job. When, for example, the third vertebra C3 is the highest point on the neck, rather than the poll, it is a clear sign of incorrect work.

About polling by media election fraud prevention Election verification exit poll Elections An election exit poll is a poll of voters taken immediately after they have exited the polling stations. Unlike an opinion poll , which asks whom the voter plans to vote for or some similar formulation, an exit poll asks whom the voter actually voted for. A similar poll conducted before actual voters have voted is called an entrance poll . Pollsters usually private companies working for newspaper s or broadcasters conduct exit polls to gain an early indication as to how an election has turned out, as in many elections the actual result may take hours or even days to count.
