Effect of Polls

We have all taken a poll or two in our lifetime, but are they really effective? Some argue that questions and choices are often worded to favor the outcome the creators want to hear. I do not think this is an entirely untrue theory. And because of this, polls seem to be somewhat powerless.
Just because more people are voting “yes” or “no” does not mean that it is a true representation of what the public as a whole believes. This is most certainly true when blogs are left or right leaning. Of course it is going to look like everyone supports the same thing you do, because it is all people with your same viewpoints visiting your site. Something to keep in mind for people who think that polls truly are effective.
