Polling stations like SWS and Pulse Asia have been around for more than a decade now. They are already present in the time of Marcos but i think its only now that it had become famous.
Polling stations studies the behavior of people and uses different methods in statistics to measure the popularity or anything that they wish to survey.
-33% is the popularity rating of our president GMA, now how did they come up with this figure? SWS and Pulse Asia surveys only 1200 of the population of the Philippines in different parts of its region. It is less than 1% of the entire Filipino people; the question is -- is it enough?
Yes, it is enough! The logic behind it is that it is like the beauty pageant “binibining pilipinas” in their search for a female to represent our country. Only one female can represent the country in this prestigious event. Contestants will undergo to some rigorous pain staking event just to be the representative. It is the same with polling stations; they conduct surveys with techniques in hand. The credibility of the survey will lie only to the methodology used by the polling stations if its result is questionable.
