Why Gazeta do Povo publishes electoral research

A People’s Gazette For years, it has been publishing all voting intention surveys carried out by the country’s main public opinion institutes. Voting intention surveys provide a current reading, based on representative samples of the population.

Interview methods, sample composition and number and even the way a question is asked are factors that can influence the result. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the information on methodologies, found at the end of the articles in the People’s Gazette on electoral polls.

Research published in the last elections, for example, highlighted relevant discrepancies in relation to the result presented at the ballot box. Having made these notes, the People’s Gazette considers that electoral polls, far from being a prediction of the outcome of elections, are an information tool available to the reader, as the published results have the potential to influence decisions by parties, political leaders and even the mood of the financial market .
