Unlike exit polls that assess voting patterns post-election, opinion polls offer a snapshot of voter intention and perception during the pre-election period. These insights help political leaders and campaign managers recalibrate messaging, re-target constituencies, and forecast political shifts with greater foresight.

The Purpose of Opinion Polls

Opinion polls offer a structured method to:

• Assess a leader’s approval ratings
• Understand public perception of party ideologies and performance
• Gauge issue-based sentiment (e.g., unemployment, development, governance)
• Predict likely voter turnout and candidate support trends

While polls do not predict final outcomes, they serve as valuable indicators of political momentum. Their impact on the electorate is also notable—often contributing to the Bandwagon Effect (voters aligning with likely winners) or the Boomerang Effect (a surge in support for trailing candidates).
