The author concludes that the results of a recent election poll are questionable. The support for this comes from the idea that the poll was conducted in high-priced shopping malls. Because Perkins’s policies support the upper-middle class, it is likely that her supporters are overrepresented at the expensive malls. This means that the sample for the poll was biased, so the results of the poll are probably not representative of the views of eligible voters in general.

The conclusion is that the results of the election poll may not be accurate: “the results of that poll are dubious.”

There is no indication in the argument that the problematic design of the poll was intentional, so this is not the conclusion.

There is no discussion of what the supporters of Samuels believe, so this is not the main conclusion.

This is the main conclusion. This is a paraphrase of the part of the argument that was identified as the conclusion. Further, the rest of the argument acts as support for this claim.

The argument does not give any indication of the accurate polling numbers; we just know that the poll discussed in the argument might not be accurate. This is unsupported from the argument, so it is not the main conclusion.

This kind of value judgement (what poll designers “should have considered”) is not included in the argument, so this is not the main conclusion.
