Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best choice for obtaining a representative sample for a poll about political candidates is to give the poll face-to-face at an average supermarket or post office. This method allows for a random selection of participants from a diverse range of backgrounds and demographics. It also eliminates biases that may be present in other sampling methods, such as only calling home phone numbers or only polling specific groups of people. Face-to-face polling in public places allows for a more comprehensive and representative sample.
