I like personally knowing the data. I hate it that people don't vote for the candidate they like best because they think he/she doesn't have a chance. I like being able to predict the election winner in advance. I hate that people decide not to vote because of polling data they realize their candidate won't win anyway. I really hate election day exit polling that has the effect of lowering voter turnout and created the 2000 election fiasco when the network falsely reported Gore won Florida and people in the conservative central time zone western panhandle got out of line, went home and didn't vote.
I plan to tell bold-face lies to any pollster who surveys me this year. I've LOVE the news channels to get it wrong in the election night coverage. Good idea? Bad idea? Will you join me?
