We need laws that will cut down on polling

[bluestateguy]

Too many polls is bad for democracy. Legislation should be considered to cut down on polling.

1. Why? It's a free country.

That sounds like a free speech issue, IMO.

2. yeah, F all that free speech and freedom of the press stuff.

while polls can lead to a false sense of bandwagon effect, I hope you're kidding about laws designed to limit them.

A better idea is for polling organizations to put some sort of disclaimer out about their polls. The general public can be a bit sheepish when they see one candidate in front of another and go with the person "everyone else" seems to be supporting.

3. Yeah, But What about Poland?

Now we get people against polls after sexism and race at DU?

This board is sick. I know Polish jokes and this
isn't a good one.

Polls are not bad for Democracy, what are you a Soviet?

4. What about a law not to have bad loud ads.

Or people in Congress that tell lies or a man in the WH that has to tell the truth. I am sure you are pulling my leg.
