In 1936, the Literary Digest wrongly predicted the defeat of President Franklin Roosevelt, having polled over two million people. The problem was
A) they polled too many people.
B) it used exit polling rather than entry polling and conducted the poll too far in advance of the election.
C) they polled too few people.
D) they polled too many people who were not an accurate representation of the American electorate.
E) they failed to take into account that people sometimes lie in polls, and did not take precautions to prevent this.
