Because they need them for their stupid election campaigns, surveys and crap like that.

Yeah. They sure did a great job surveying "accurately" every election cycle.

Well, my experience says that they are decently accurate, at least here in EU.

However, I would ban surveys because they can lead people to vote for the wrong person due to social pressure.
