Divide and Rule Policy
After 1858, the British continued to follow the policy of divide and rule by turning the princes against the people, province against province, caste against caste, group against group, and, above all, Hindus against Muslims.

The Harrisburg Pennsylvanian and The Literary Digest polls were the pioneers on conducting presidential straw polls in The United States. The Harrisburg Pennsylvanian did the first vote poll in 1824, while The Literary Digest started in the year 1916.
Both newspapers are remembered not only for being the pioneers on using this specific type of polling, but also for what the results that these threw showed the population. In the case of The Harrisburg Pennsylvanian, although the results of the poll during the presidential race between Andrew Jackson and Quincy Adams were correct ( Jackson got the majority of the votes against Adams), they were not a representation of who the actual winner was going to be, as Adams became the president when the election was thrown to the House of Representatives for a lack of electoral votes.
Meanwhile, The Literary Digest got the accurate results wit the presidential polls they conducted from the year 1916 until 1932. but everything came to an end with the presidential election of 1936, where the magazine predicted that Alfred Landon was going to defeat Franklin D Roosevelt.
The public learned from the results that although sometimes accurate, if polls are using bad sampling techniques, they are most probably going to be inaccurate at some point. Straw polls, although commonly used to see the opinion of the masses on different matters, are not considered scientific enough to use for important affairs such an presidential race.
