It's important to understand that not only do polls report the voting intentions of the people, they also affect the voter turnout. People like to vote for winners, and if they believe that their candidate or cause is going to lose, they are less likely to vote. Poll results therefore turn out to be self-fulfilling prophecies - which is why liberals so love to design polls that make themselves look like winners.
Polls have a built-in margin for error, usually 2%, based upon the sampling size. They all assume, however, that their respondents have answered honestly. This is an enormous vulnerability that people who dislike polls can exploit.
Whenever possible, answer poll questions. Lie to every question including whether you are a conservative, EXCEPT for whether you are a likely voter. Be honest about that one. There is no better way than lying to eliminate polls as effective election manipulation tools. Over time, more people will see that poll results are nonsense and will not let predicted losses dissuade them from voting.
