While you are absolutely correct, "polls" like this do one other thing - they 
show the size of the faction AND whether or not they are committed and well 
communicated.  This is vitally important to politicians since the factions with 
large numbers of well connected people, willing to take time to act, are 
dangerous should they vote against them.  As proof of this, look at the Gay 
Lobby 
- they are a minute fraction of the population, yet they absolutely CONTROL 
much of the political scene.  They have accomplished this by never shutting up, 
never letting the smallest thing by them, and never saying die.  We could 
learn much from this type of activism!
VOTE FOR EQUESTRIAN RIGHTS!
