“People are asking if this survey is biased. Can you give the audience the scientific analysis that led to this conclusion? The pre-poll survey findings do not reveal the survey methodology, such as the sample size or how the results were predicted.

The pre-poll survey results from the last assembly elections are a clear example of this deception,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
