I think that a representative should consider the view of his constituents but he should not just vote with the polls. They voted him in not just because of his or her stated political views on specific issues, but because of overall ideology, character, personality and perceived effectiveness.

If a representative and his constituents disagree enough about important issues then they should vote him out next election. That way the opinion of the people eventually directs the course of the country without having politicians required to be a slave to the polls.
