Do internet surveys always represent everyone correctly, first to help gets best answer?

I am doing some research about whether or not internet surveys represent the population evenly, or if they are prone to sampling errors. Post a link to an internet survey, already with results, that you feel has a sampling error. For example, one where men are misrepresented because the web site is catered toward women.


Thank you so much.

Like everyone else said, there'll always be that margin of error in any survey but in general I don't think they're very representative of the population. Case in point:

Hope that helps a bit dear. =)
Reply:Every survey has a margin of error due to people


taking the survey will not answer honestly, will


take duplicate surveys and give different answers.


Most surveys try and poll a diverse group of people


unless the survey is specificaly designed to poll


a certain group of people.

Reply:In general, the multiple choice questions do not always give you the choice you would choose. I have noticed that when I take a survery. I don't have any specifics though.
Reply:Any poll is going to have sample errors. Polling only internet users increases the error margin, look how many older people don't use internet.
