Summary/Abstract: Since the widespread use of opinion polls in Romanian political campaigns began in the 1990s, there has been legitimate worry about their impact on the vote and, consequently, concerning the risks of lack of ethics in polling and journalism. In this article, I shall first present eight common types of misconduct related to poll reporting, and then briefly examine how the National Audiovisual Council reacts to such problems.
