What if polls were banned?
What would happen if polls were declared to be illegal by the federal government? Would that really be so bad? Why do we need to be deluged with poll after poll after poll after poll. I say, criminalize them!

2. Freedom of speech? Freedom of the press?
Maybe there's a more rights-friendly way to encourage accurate polling.

3. I think we would be better off without polls, but...
you just can't ban them. First Amendment and all.

4. It seems extremist to ban them...
but they're just used as propaganda tools now...completely worthless.

6. No government would ban polls.
They provide reassurance to the masses.
