رائے شماری

رائے شماری، جسے اکثر محض ایک پول یا سروے کہا جاتا ہے، ایک خاص نمونے سے عوامی رائے کا انسانی تحقیقی سروے ہوتا ہے۔ رائے عامہ کے جائزوں کو عام طور پر سوالات کا ایک سلسلہ چلا کر اور پھر تناسب یا اعتماد کے وقفوں کے اندر عمومیات کو بڑھا کر آبادی کی رائے کی نمائندگی کرنے کے لیے ڈیزائن کیا جاتا ہے۔  ایک شخص جو رائے شماری کرتا ہے اسے پولسٹر کہا جاتا ہے۔
