It would make elections a bit less stressful. There are a lot of vested interests in both political campaigns and in the public at large that want accurate polling before elections. That's extremely difficult to do right now.

I know some people debate whether having that information is healthy, which I won't comment on, but I do understand why someone might want it.

Now, at an individual level, what do I personally get out of answering any specific survey -- that's a much tougher question for me to answer.
