Data from sequence of political public opinion polls are sponsored by either private organizations or research institutes using different political polling types, such as phones, internet, face book, whatsApps, Twitter and face-to-face. The main objective of this paper is to empirically investigation of the political public opinion survey of 2015 Presidential Election Seekers.
