| We know that opinion polls are a form of expression, as they publicise the opinions of large numbers of citizens.
It has been said that well-conducted polls can be very accurate. Publishing opinion polls during elections might lead to tactical voting, and if the polls are mistaken, this means that the votes are being cast on a wrong basis.
Should we do away with election opinion polls? |

28.3% Thought Opinion Polls were useful.
12.5% Thought Opinion Polls don't add up!
