POLLS ARE A GOOD THING

TEANECK, NJ — (OfficialWire) — Contrary to what you might think, surveys and polls cannot determine the outcome of an election. Polls generally only confirm what professional observers (and many voters themselves) already know—whether a race is close or not. Early polls can have an effect on a candidate’s ability to raise funds, but they will not shape how an election will turn.

MRI polls and surveys help connect us to our community—just like print newspapers, blogs, 'letters to the editor' or calling into a talk radio program. They let us know if our opinions are in the mainstream or not. Surveys and polls measure values and the ideas to which we attach importance. Like anything else, they can be abused. But there's one thing we have learned: those who complain the most about polls, actually follow them more closely than anyone else.
