The results of a poll can influence people who haven't voted yet.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: D. The results of a poll can influence people who have not voted yet. Those responsible for the electoral campaigns began to take advantage of the results of the polls not only for their own objectives but also to incorporate them into electoral marketing for the benefit of their campaigns. For a study to have influence, its credibility and recognition are very important. If the citizen believes in the results of the study, he could alter his final decision.
