Answer:

Hello!

Step-by-step explanation:

The primary reason for the misjudgment was that they used a bad method of polling. They made the mistake of using their readers as the population they are going to base the results. And when your readers are only the upper-middle class that can afford to buy it it is easy to see why this method would absolutely not be a viable one.
