You may have seen polls being talked about during the general election campaign.   But what exactly do they tell us?   Polls are used to predict how many people intend to vote for each party.   They are based on a sample of people interviewed, typically more than 1,000, which is then weighted to be representative of the country. The BBC poll tracker summarises all that information with an average line that makes it easier to understand the trend. This is updated every day with the latest polling information.   There is always a margin of error, meaning the real percentage could be higher or lower than any one poll suggests. You can keep up to date with how the polls are looking by tapping the link in @BBCNews ’s bio. #GeneralElection #BBCNews
