"Straw polling — using a sample that does not match the population" is incorrect.
Correctly:
- Biased sampling = using a sample that does not represent the population.
- Straw poll = an informal, unscientific poll to gauge opinion (often nonrandom or self-selected).
- Push poll = a manipulative survey meant to spread negative information.
- Random sample = a sample in which each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected.
