A survey is a scientifically sound method that uses the Central Limit Theorem to measure the certainty of an estimate about a population, based on a representative sample. It does not express any individual's personal experience but accurately estimates the aggregate mean and variance of a variable.
I don't think this a particularly accurate description.
It literally isn't.
A survey is an unscientific method of gathering information that is often delivered by a system that has gamed the very survey to give the results they desire.

Yes, this is a real government ad…
“Are you a white male who has experienced discrimination at work based on your race or sex?”
In a country built on centuries of actual discrimination, the EEOC is using civil rights language to insulate white male mediocrity from competition.

Huh, wow, who would have guessed? They're just going to release the parts that make Democrats look bad, and hold on to the other parts.
Just saying, ahead of time, I'm not expecting the world to change after The Release of the Epstein Files today.
They're not going to release anything that makes themselves look bad, simple as that.

Well this is GDP, not wealth. But - if the numbers are not bullshit - it supports the idea that liberals support the economy and conservatives suck its tit.
The poorer you are, the more likely you'll vote for Trump. The wealthier, the more likely you'll vote for his Democratic challenger.
