"Past" daily writes: Sociology and especially sociological polls are increasingly used not to research public attitudes and perceptions, but as a political PR tool. More simply, a stable impression has been formed that these polls are not aimed at finding out the opinion of the public, but at influencing and directing it, often openly.
Accordingly, it is not only about Armenia. "Sociological polls" as a means of PR and political influence have long been used in the West by the "gurus" of modern democracy. They use that "tool" also and especially against those countries or countries where they have certain interests or interests. The very, very suspicious (to put it mildly) "question" sent from Europe yesterday regarding the upcoming NA elections is in the logic of what was said above, if not to say, it is a practical reflection of what was said, which has nothing to do with the actual reality.
What's more, the "Brevis" company later stated that the results of the poll published by EuroNews do not reflect the published results of the poll conducted by them. Despite such a denial, there is still a need to address the "hybrid war" like the West, especially since the spreader is not a random "platform". Let's put aside the fact that with that "survey" Pashinyan was painted with a different kind of percentages. Much more interesting are the details of the spread of false information and who is the source and who spread it in Armenia.
First, it should be noted that this was presented as a "telephone survey". In general, telephone surveys cannot be considered at all reliable in our country, in our society and in our conditions. In a situation where the authorities are conducting a "policy" of intimidation, police pressure and widespread eavesdropping against the public, many people who are supporters of the opposition forces that reject Nikol Pashinyan clearly avoid such telephone conversations, and even more so, they avoid saying on the phone which force they are going to vote for. The numbers mentioned above, that is, barely 0.3-05 percent responded, also testify to this. As for public opinion and real sentiments, the results of non-telephone surveys conducted in "field conditions" paint a completely different picture. According to the information we have, the picture is significantly different from the "Eurohybrid" polls, if not to say that it is the complete opposite. According to the results of the real polls, Pashinyan and his government do not come close to the index necessary for reproduction.
Moreover, they are far from it. Simply put, Pashinyan can at most claim the position of the head of the opposition faction in the next National Assembly. Instead, the main opposition forces, "Strong Armenia", "Armenia" bloc and PAP, have a very real chance to form a new government. Moreover, there are reports that not only the three major forces are forming a government, but also 2-3 other forces can overcome the transient threshold, for example, Arman Tatoyan's "Wings of Unity", Hayk Marutyan's "New Power" and Edmon Marukyan's "Enlightened Armenia".
In all of this, regardless of all polls, the key is the mood, specifically, the mood to actively participate in the voting, which is high. And that is the most important and can be of crucial importance
