How to use poll in a sentence?

1. Donald Trump:

   I’m proud to be in first place by such a wide margin in another national poll.

2. Donald Trump:

   I think it's a great thing for me, because a lot of those people want to vote for me, but they think that I'm doing it for publicity. The fact is, that was one (poll result) I was very surprised at.

3. Bernie Sanders:

4. Abbey Collins:

   We rolled out a new low dollar campaign to reach a wide variety of supporters and as part of that effort reached out to our network, just as Ms. Nixon’s campaign has dozens of contributions from her staff and their family members, as the latest filing and poll numbers show, Cynthia’s campaign is on life support, which is why her lines are getting increasingly more combative and desperate.

5. George Gallup:

   Polling is merely an instrument for gauging public opinion. When a president or any other leader pays attention to poll results, he is, in effect, paying attention to the views of the people. Any other interpretation is nonsense.
