Poll results: Do polls affect your voting habits?

Poll results: Do polls affect your voting habits?

Yes - 1 vote (2%)
No - 44 votes (97%)

Wow. But shouldn't the person who voted yes switch their vote to no? Did I just blow your mind?

Wow. I was the guy who voted yes. Am I crazy or something? Of course polls influence my vote. Sometimes they indicate that there's something I'm missing. I mean, yeah, voting according to our values and principles is what I'm all about, but there's a second force at work here...sometimes we're stuck in a situation where neither candidate represents our true feelings. Wouldn't you then look at the polls and see what other people think about the candidates, and then research their views, and make a decision?

Apparently it's just me.

That's pretty reasonable.

I wonder if you're the only person who responded who does that or if the other respondents just didn't consider that.

Am I crazy or something?

Could be, could be, but I wouldn't say so based on your vote. ;)
