Polling influences and changes political reporting.
I think the point made in the article of changes made based on polls, of single snapshots on single issues, and therefore reduction of legitimacy is important. In representatives democracies we vote for folks to represent us in all matters foreseen and unforeseen prior to the casting of ballots.
In highly developed countries, a legitimate question is whether we go to the polls often enough, or in the right circumstances. This week's EU elections will be a referendum vote on Brexit in the UK, although completely different matters are actually at stake. In other EU countries, the issues are different. Even these votes, or local elections that have nothing to do with national elections cause changes in national politics everywhere.
We live in a time of mass communication. It feels very weird that I only formally communicate with my local democracy every four years when the campaigns see to be going all year round every year. The only difference is that the campaigns seem to be about polling outcomes.
As an elected representative, could I even get of the wild polling ride, or would that be career suicide?
