I am not too sure if you have ever tried voting on an internet poll, but most of them only allow you to vote once. As for a phone poll, I seriously doubt that people think that spending money texting a response is worthwhile hundreds of times over. I would not be wasting my hard earned to "manipulate" a small poll.
Reaper, when you say organisations with an agenda, would that be organisations such as the unions with their ten of millions of advertising dollars?
Also, not too sure of pushing an agenda by any group this far out from an election.
Quoting popularity polls this far out from an election is an extremely frivolous exercise, some people obviously believe it determines the next government, scary really.
