Random sampling ensures that a bias in the sampled subjects is avoided. It allows for a diverse and fairly chosen sample of the intended population.

There are many such methods: cluster sampling, stratified random sampling, simple random sampling.Their usefulness depends on the circumstances.

random
The purpose of random sampling in a poll is to ensure that every individual in the population has an equal chance of being selected, which helps to create a representative sample. This minimizes bias and allows for more accurate generalizations about the entire population based on the sample's responses. By achieving a representative sample, the poll results are more reliable and reflective of the broader population's views.
Random sampling techniques.
You are correct; convenience sampling is not random sampling.
A scientific poll typically employs a probability sampling technique, where each member of the population has a known, non-zero chance of being selected. Common methods include simple random sampling, stratified sampling, and cluster sampling. These techniques help ensure that the sample is representative of the larger population, minimizing bias and enhancing the reliability of the poll's results. By using these methods, researchers can draw valid conclusions about public opinion or behaviors.
It can be but it is not simple random sampling.
