Opinion: Online Polls Don't Matter In Elections by Charmingrascal(m): 10:37am On Feb 22, 2023 |
Prior to the 2019 Presidential elections there were several online polls conducted, many of those polls predicted the candidate of the PDP, Alh Atiku Abubakar as the winner of the election, however in a twist of event President Muhammad Buhari of the APC won the election. The 2023 Presidential elections is just three(3) days from now and there have been several online polls predicting who will become the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Majority of the polls conducted predict Peter Gregory Obi as the winner, even polls conducted on Nairaland forecasts Obi as the winner. In my opinion the reality is that all these online polls do not really matter because those who will vote are not even online and we witnessed this in 2019 when Atiku was favoured to be the winner over Buhari. For example I can say that some of the people who voted on Nairaland Presidential poll have not even attained the legally approved age to participate in an election, there are Nairlanders who are below the age of eighteen (18) and they also voted for the candidate of their choice online but in reality they don't have their PVC talkmore of voting. Below are some polls conducted on Nairaland prior to the 2019 elections. https://www.nairaland.com/5011785/nairaland-2019-presidential-election-poll https://www.nairaland.com/5019873/2019-nairaland-presidential-election-poll Here is a poll conducted on Nairaland and it favours Peter Gregory Obi as the people's choice 'online' https://www.nairaland.com/7579371/2023-nairaland-latest-poll-atiku Dear Nigerians, the only way your online opinion can really count and become a reality is when you go to your polling units and vote for the candidate of your choice. Don't just vote online, exercise your right as a Nigerian, your candidate will not win if you only vote online and refuse vote physically. No talk say I no warn you, no be say you go dey say dem rig election because your candidate win online and no win for election day, e fit be because you no go comot go vote. VOTE NOT FIGHT! DON'T SELL YOUR VOTE! May the best candidate win!! God bless Nigeria. 24 Likes 5 Shares

Charmingrascal:You may be right but not the kind of polls conducted by Bantupage and ANAP. Bantupage went to every single LGA in Nigeria with the exception of Zamfara state to sample opinion of Nigerians. ANAP obtained numbers of voters who have collected their PVC and called every one of them using scientific methodologies. Since 2011, all ANAP polls have been accurate. 81 Likes 7 Shares |

So many things to check out in this election! 1. Does structure matter in politics? 2. Does campaign or online crowd translate to real votes? 3. Do visiting churches and inciting them to take back their country translate to votes? 4. Does ethnicity/religion/region matter in the pattern of voting? 5. How many predictions passed/failed and by what margin? 6. Was the cashless economy fruitful to the credibility of the election? 8 Likes 1 Share |

Agreed. Even in the US online polls said Hillary Clinton was going to win but Donald Trump won. Talkless of a country like nigeria where online does not represent what the vast majority Onyiridike:Obidients are daft. When did anap call every registered voter? And bantupage did not visit every local government. These are lies. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Once it doesn't favour you, you all start complaining about how elections aren't done online and how online polls don't matter but yet supporters of the evil party and their party will go to all lengths include paying newspapers to claim claim they are ahead in the same polls they claim don't matter 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Lol It's fine to console yourself over the dismal performance of your candidate in the polls. Reality is that online participants of these polls are human and would do everything to validate their choice by cajoling people offline to tow their line of preference. Don't underestimate the outcomes. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Since 2011, whoever is the most popular on social media ( i.e getting the highest number of likes and positive comments) end up winning the South.... Northern votes is another ball game entirely. And it tends to change the dynamics. I think Tinubu will come second in the south (behind Obi) and second in the North (behind Atiku) but will manage to get 25% votes in 24 states (he will definitely not get 25% in most SS/SE states but we get in SW/NW/NE/NC) and have the highest votes overall. 2 Likes 1 Share |
