Agree sa sampling error. Unang tanong talaga is kung nacapture ba precisely ang demographics. https://t.co/8c0yT8AIbE

Perhaps 2 issues.
– Demographic profile of the pattern inhabitants is skewed and doesn’t well-represent the demogs of the whole inhabitants – age, employment sector/earnings, geographic location.
– Sampling assortment could possibly be outdated. Family conventional vs digital. https://t.co/Qbc2nHLTzM— 𝓹𝓪𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓬𝓲𝓪 𝓪𝓷𝓷𝓮 💫 (@patriciampablo) Could 12, 2025
Really, survey ay consensus lang ng iilang tao…. Hindi siya consensus ng pangkalahatan… That means, ang iilang bilang ng tao lang ang sumasagot sa survey kakatawan sa maaaring panlasa ng masa. I believe ang magandang nadulot nito ay mas lalong pinaghirapan ng Kiko-Bam ❣️❣️❣️ https://t.co/BEaDLO93ze

ilang botante ang hindi bumoto ng candidates kasi “non-winnable” or nag undervote kasi baka maalanganin yung spots ni bam & kiko ??

Most surveys are executed home to accommodate. Largely lunch time sila pumupunta and kung sino lang ung nasa bahay ang tatanungin kasi gusto ma din nila makauwi agad.
More than likely, nasa work or faculty ang millenials and genz kaya wala sila sa survey. https://t.co/aM3NB6HlMJ

wager is on altering demographics talaga. the heart beat of the youthful generations might have been unaccounted for / underreported all this time therefore the “sudden” climb ni Kiko at Bam sa senatorial race. https://t.co/qZgqEch38e

Then again, a Could 2025 Social Climate Stations (SWS) survey confirmed Aquino and Pangilinan on the sixteenth and seventeenth ranks, respectively, having desire scores at 23% and 21%.
The 2 survey corporations have but to formally challenge a press release to handle the supposed “discrepancies” within the outcomes of the surveys to the precise voting outcomes, however Ronald Holmes, president of Pulse Asia, stated in an interview with ABS-CBN that there have been sure elements that might have contributed to the state of affairs.
One in every of them, he stated, was the supposed time hole between the pre-election survey and the precise elections, the place there had been “heightened marketing campaign actions” that might have led to the change within the voter’s preferences.
