Take, for instance, the latest poll survey about the popularity of various leaders in the fray in the forthcoming Punjab elections.

It has indicated that the accidental Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi has the support of 32% of the voters, while the mercurial Navjot Singh Sidhu, a loud claimant for the CM seat from the same party, enjoys the support of a measly 5% of the voters.

The survey report places Arvind Kejriwal as the second most popular leader of Punjab with 24% of voters favoring him.

It casts Captain Amarinder Singh in the most pathetic situation with only 2% voter support, while ven Bhagwant Singh Mann gets the support of 13% voters and Sukhbir Singh Badal 17%.

Since the survey database is not known, it's better to reserve one's comments. But one thing is clear: the survey may turn out to be a spoof.
