Sorry but that is my belief based on many years of personal experience. You can't disprove what I know to be true. I agree polls should be taken with a grain of salt but losers simply dismiss them out of hand at their own peril. One thing is for sure is that the Spectator poll would be the most unbiased of the 3. Even then if you know how the poll is done you can figure out useful information. To suggest a ban on polls is foolish. I use them a lot in strategic voting. Often times my choice trails very far behind and I either stick with my principals or vote for someone who has a chance to win that will best serve my interests. Voting for 6th place finisher with 8% of the vote might only serve to help the person I oppose the most. I know that in this election that is very true. I would vote for anyone but the top 3 if there was a viable candidate. There isn't. Not only do the lesser knowns not have any council experience which automatically disqualifies them IMO but none have generated a populist movement that gives them a chance. This really shows up in the polls here in town. So thanks to the polls I know that for my vote to count I'll have to decide between the big 3 because if I fail to do so I may very well be voting for a candidate I don't want by not registering a vote with one that I don't want a little less. This election the polls are critical. I have 2 choices and I would really like to know which one has a better shot to unseat the candidate I don't want to win by default under any circumstances
