   You mean the pre-polls?  Ipsos(tm)?   
      
   Those numbers aren't always accurate. What they might do is     
   influence people to sway their votes. When a certain report     
   says Candidate A is leading, then people might be convinced to     
   either continue to vote that way, or vote to try and change     
   things and vote for Candidate B, C or D.   
      
   I don't participate when survey-people call.  Why do people     
   even bother?  What an intrusive activity.
