Polling made easy

What is the difference between a poll and a survey? Simply put, a poll is used to ask one simple question, whereas a survey is used to ask a range of questions. Éric Grenier helps to boil down the information and make it easier to understand. So why do people use polls? Polls are used for a number of reasons such as to foster engagement, improve customer satisfaction, market research, optimize a website, and to improve attribution tracking. However, polls are attributed mostly to opinion polls such as in an election. An opinion poll for an election asks voters whom they plan on voting for, to give an idea of who is ahead in the race, as well as people’s engagement in the electoral pro- cess. When taking into account that some people will change their mind in between answering the poll questions, and the elec- tion, and not all those that answer will cast a ballot, polls aren’t completely accurate, but it gives the powers that be a good idea of where things are going, and are usually surprisingly accurate in determining what direction an election is taking. CBC polls analyst and ThreeHundre- dEight.com founder Éric Grenier has de- veloped a poll tracker, a guide to the 2015 elections. The poll trackers assist people in finding out which parties are on top, results compared to the previous election, who might win if the election were to be held

was a natural route for me to take.” Serge Grenier is the president of the Hawkesbury Golf and Curling Club and also runs Serge Grenier Adjustment Inc. Grenier explains that polls are a broad spectrumof what is going on. “It’s not always right on the money,” Grenier explained. “Usually, it gives a good indication but is not to be taken as gospel.” Grenier thought it would be a good idea for Canadians to have a polling site for elec- tions after following the United States pre- sidential election in 2008. “I was following a website called FiveThirtyEight that gave forecasts on the election,” Grenier said. “I M.S.TAXI HAWKESBURY Lors de notre tirage du4 août dernier ces personnes ont remporté les prix suivants: JUSTIN 20$DairyQueen+mini putt ROXANNE 20$DairyQueen+mini putt KRISTINE 20$ cinéma +popcorn JULIE 20$ cinéma +popcorn BEN Bowling+20$ casse-croûte DENIS Bowling+20$ casse-croûte

thought we are lacking that in Canada.” Grenier developedThreeHundredEight. com tomake polling a little easier to unders- tand, “You see news polls all the time on television,” said Grenier. “It can get difficult and confusing. It’s not about predicting the future. It’s what people thought when they were asked the question.” Grenier is currently working with the CBC on the 2015 federal elections. The website cbc.ca/polltracker helps people to keep track of what is going on. “It boils down all the polls that are out there into something people can understand.”
