"Refraining from slavishly following poll results when you make political decisions doesn't mean you aren't paying attention to your constituents." Fine. But what politician has ever slavishly followed poll results? Do some politicians tend to jump on board when polls are running high for or against certain issues? Well, yes. Only a truly brain dead politician would ignore something like that. But, I doubt seriously you could find any politician who takes up an issue as soon as it polls above 50%, only to drop it when it dips below. All politicians have, at one time or another, run against the polls. If only because a major contributor wants it that way.
