I guess I'm in the minority here. I think these polls can be important, and because they sometimes are, I'm voting for Bush in as many as I can find. The unfortunate fact is that perception sways some voters. People watch their local nightly news and hear that Kerry supposedly won the third debate--don't you think that can have an effect on some people? Sure it shouldn't, but it does. I think Internet polls had an effect on people's perception of who won the second debate. I thought Bush won; the DUers made sure others thought Kerry won.

Anyway, taking part in these online polls takes so little effort--if there's even a small chance they sway some voters, it's well worth it.

I agree with you. Like it or not, a lot of people are like sheep. They take their cues from what they think the majority is doing. If the polls say Kerry is overwhelmingly supported, they'll throw their vote his way because when it comes down to making the final decision they'll let groupthink take over. They don't want to back a loser. I've always thought that's why the majority voted for Clinton. There was an atmosphere at the time that "all the cool kids were doing it."
