    In terms of why, I think its like marketing to a high end audience, the value is more in the influencing. Majority of the country doesn't give a flying shit as Mr. Fantastico there pointed out.

    But the people in the media who decide the news stories,or members of Congress deciding to vote on something, absolutely read these things.

    And even if some people see through the gimmick, it creates this sense that your opinion is 15 points more popular than it actually is. Which has got to be valuable, especially if you can't convince people to support certain things on their own.

    And if it doesn't work, why do it? The proof that it matters is that Rasmussen or someone actually sat down and brainstormed all of this.
