In summary, polls are utilized in scientific research to efficiently gather data and insights from a large population. They are conducted through carefully designed surveys or questionnaires, either online or in-person, to collect specific information anonymously. The advantages of using polls include a larger sample size, cost-effectiveness, and timely analysis, while limitations include potential bias and the need for careful design and analysis. The results of polls can be used to identify trends, patterns, correlations, and inform decision-making and future research directions.
