"Spiral of silence", or we can say majority silence can explain this phenomenon. "Spiral of silence" tells that when some people know their opinions are different with main opinions in society, they chooose to be silent and escape to express and from pressure. so in this time opinion survey sometimes just represent some people's voice. in fact, the silent majority's view is hard to be change and they will do their choice in the end. this can explain the controdication of opinion survey and final result.
