Unfortunately, the polls are a major part of the way people vote.
"Vote for front runner, and I'll be a winner", or
"Vote for last place, cause I'm against everything"
Then come the litmus tests that are most persuasive, such as:
abortion, race, party, religion, age, gender, spouce's hair style, veteran, sense of humor, etc.
Last, and often least... the candidate's stand on important political and economic issues, such as:
the candidate's hair style, ability to debate, family values, place of birth, number of children, style and color of underwear, etc.
