Methods for data collection vary and all have their own techniques for the analysis with the data. The key to the validity of the results have to do with selecting the correct sample population that actually mimics the electorate. There are lots of ways to do this and we always find out after the fact who guessed right as to who actually shows up. But suffice it to say they allegedly attempt to adjust the results to reflect actual registered voter or likely voter roles. So if they assume that 40% will be Republicans, 40% Democrats and 20% Independents then they adjust the numbers they get to get it to match. A lot of judgement and manipulation for sure.
