The 2 survey companies have but to formally subject a press release to deal with the supposed “discrepancies” within the outcomes of the surveys to the precise voting outcomes, however Ronald Holmes, president of Pulse Asia, stated in an interview with ABS-CBN that there have been sure components that might have contributed to the state of affairs.
