Why are you worried about people being swayed by polls? If they can be
swayed by a poll, what else can they be swayed by?

I think the stink over polls is 'way off base. I don't know anyone who votes
on the basis of polls. But I do know people who vote for stupid reasons.


Some would tell you that _Congressmen_ have been known to vote on the basis of
polls. But it's not clear why that should be considered a scandal, in a
democracy.
