Public opinion does not always communicate a clear message to the political leaders on what society expects of them. The leadership surveys are instead carried out with certain discourse associated with social pressures, improper timing in collecting views, lack of civil knowledge, and human errors. Such inefficiencies may result in biased information with little emphasis on the ultimate state of national affairs of a country. In a number of cases, the surveys’ feedback is commonly manipulated as campaign tools by self-centered leaders. Prominent persons use the research data to obtain the views of voters and corrupt their ideas into sharing their ideologies. The influence of the partisan elites, workplace associations, individual past life experiences as well as the prevailing political culture as such, are major factors limiting the effectiveness of any public polls in representing good governance.
To conduct a public campaign reflective of an ideal leader of a nation, the political surveys need to embrace a neutral ground devoid of manipulations. For instance, for a representative poll, the regulatory policies of a nation ought to be free from corruptible practices. Public surveys conducted in a justified manner are, therefore, crucial in eliminating ideology-based controversies to reflect on the political situation of a country. As such, the survey polls fail to reflect the true leadership needs of society when influenced by external forces such as socioeconomic and human interference. On the contrary, when freely and fairly conducted, public polls effectively represent the desired governance. The sociopolitical pressures merely undermine the purpose of survey campaigns in providing necessary information that would otherwise enhance a good political image.
