What if Pre-Election Polls Didn’t go Public

November 2, 2006

I wonder… what would be the effect on turnout and voting if pre-election polls weren’t public?  How much is turnout affected by the constant (and often changing) barrage of polls telling us which candidate is ahead as of the moment, or how folks are feeling about a particular measure.  Would it lead more folks to vote for minor parties?
