I never felt comfortable with making political decisions based on whether, you know, it was the right thing to do in terms of a poll.

Don't worry about polls, but if you do, don't admit it.

I'm a believer in the polls, by the way. Rarely do you see a poll that's very far off.

I think we can spend too much time worrying about polls.

The poll that matters is the one that happens on Election Day.

It is with unwelcome frequency that I find myself the deciding vote.

And if you're getting a poll coming out month after month saying something and then all of a sudden does an enormous swing in one direction - you are dealing with a more volatile electorate than most people believe they have.

There are so many things the people who take polls never get around to asking.

We have too many politicians who are poll-driven to excess. Polls are important. You've got to know what the public is thinking, but you can't let them drive you completely.

I have never had an interest in opinion polls. They are merely an indicator, that's all.
