The poll's legitmacy is probably the most overlooked part of the ppoll itself. Many Polls are very merky and not straight forward. Also many of these polls are done by a specific candidate or party that favors one candidate over another. This creates issues in the legitmacy of the poll. The person or group that conducted the poll should also be looked into.
