In Canada we see election polls almost daily during election campaigns.  Most of these polls are made up of a selection of 1200 or less people and I question the effect they may have on a voter.  

The law currently restricts polls 24 hours prior to the election day and on election day from reporting.  Shouldn't this be increased? huh.gif
