Always. Polls are 100% accurate. There is not better way to make choices, than based on popular votes.

Depends on the poll and the respondents.

I don't hold much stock to a poll say from a Audi car forum on which is a better car an Audi or a BMW.
Likewise I wouldn't hold stock in the reverse. Or say even here, with Manual transmission vs automatic.

Though some polls done online or in person actually give a viable results.

Most polls are biased and designed to get you to answer the way the person or group who designed the poll wants the numbers to lean. So, polls suck in my opinion and you should always consider the source before reading the information contained.

BTW-I voted 42 on your poll for no particular reason at all.

that's true. It's tough to come up with options that fit what everyone is thinking.
Someone might have a poll with two options because they see it as a black and white case, others could find ten's of options in between.

What, no option for 24!!! I'm so not gonna answer this poll. If you put 42, you must have all other alternatives aswell!

This poll stinks!

I don't take most of the crap on this board serious as it is a perfect random sample of the collective stupidity running rampant in the world today.

Sometimes do, sometimes don't. Didn't take this one seriously.
