Dec 7, 2021 at 18:20 comment added YCor Since this was not mentioned so far, note that $P$ has a real root iff the real polynomial $\gcd(P,\bar{P})$ has a real root, where $\bar{P}(z)=\overline{P(\bar{z})}$. The interest is that $\gcd$ has smaller degree (instead of $P\bar{P}$ which has twice the degree)— generically it even has degree $0$.
