Polls these days are about as reliable as the people that are asked the questions to make that poll up in the first place.

I remember a news organisation having a camera crew setup outside one of the polling stations over here and they was asking people going in, if they knew who they was voting for, and who that was. On their way out they asked them again if they voted for the party they intended to, how easy was the ballot paper to read etc.

I'd say out of 10 people, about 5 or 6 actually voted for the party they said they would going in. Asking the others why the change of heart at the last minute, and the reasons went from I couldn't find the party I wanted on the ballot paper so just voted for another one that I'd heard of (unbelievable!) To it did just didn't seem right. My grandfather and father have always voted for this particular party, I would be the only one not to and I don't think that's right so I followed in their footsteps instead of changing (also unbelievable!)

I guess that just shows how fickle and indecisive people can be.
