I keep seeing people say this over and over and can't figure out why. Since when do we believe what the liberal and/or GOP-Elite (i.e., biased) press says? Why pay attention to polls? Why can't we think for ourselves? I'm just saying...Because... Like it or not... They tend to be very successful at predicting the outcome. Especially when the actual vote draws near.
Maybe. Maybe not. I think one could make a legitimate case that carefully-crafted polls guide the outcome, particularly when the actual vote draws near.
Why? Because no one wants to waste their vote. If we're constantly told that our favorite person isn't "polling well," what are the odds that we'll still vote for him/her when we step into that booth?
What comes first? The polling data or people's opinions? I say the only polls that matter are exit polls.
