Opinion poll is a survey of public opinion from a particular sample. It is usually designed to represent the opinions of a population by asking a set of questions and then extrapolating generalities. While it sounds pretty harmless, the decision of the Congress party to back Election Commission's views on restricting publication and dissemination of opinion polls during elections has come under severe criticism. The argument  in favour of opinion polls is that they are a representation of the freedom of speech.
