Ok, here's why I like polls. Several reasons. One, I like watching how ideology is constructed, and polls are a fascinating way of defining the parameters of thought in the act of measuring them. Two, they do offer insights, on occasion, into how the masses think. Three, there's enough Mencken in me to view U.S. politics as entertainment, and polls are part of the show. And four, I kind of like numbers.
