There are too many polls in America. Polls need to be reduced.

I plan to keep hacking away at this issue. There are too many polls. Day after day after day, the snotty little pollsters in the media pimp their nonsense, fake, made-up numbers. There are millions of voters out there, yet the pollsters claim to know what the people are thinking on the basis of a few hundred "people" who supposedly answered some phone poll. That is not plausible. It's just not. Polls used to be rare. Maybe one per month. We need to go back to that, and we need legislation that will rein in the out of control pollsters.

1. Why legislation to outlaw polls?

Why not just stop posting them, answering them, and talking about them?

[LWolf]

2. Because they are tools for corporate media. nt

[Freddie Stubbs]

7. So, we need less freedom of the press?

5. I completely agree.. There are so many people I have talked to at my hotel

from around this country who had planned on voting for John Edwards.. Too bad the PTB decided his fate.

6. There aren't enough of these poles

8. I Say We Take A Poll On That

All it's become is a reversed tool of influencing rather than gathering information, a method of spin. Not a reliable indicator of anything except that someone wants to manipulate public perception.

9. Maybe we could get Congress to investigate this next? n/t

[LiberalEsto]

10. We need to take a tall climb

off a short pole

[MonkeyFunk]

11. You can't do it

without throwing away the First Amendment.

Believe me, the vast majority of Americans don't follow polls nearly as closely as people here do.
