    You know who cares about polls?

    Politicians who want to know how far they can push things and still get reelected.

    Which means that for regular folks, polls are useful because we know how far we can push our elected representatives, and/or what strategies we might want to use.

      What’s the difference between regular folk and normal folk? I’m just speaking for myself. I carry no “we” around with me.
