More on why we should simply ignore polls

Except for the fact that poll results seem to push indecided or uninformed people in one direction or another, Laer, over at CheatSeeking Missiles offers compelling evidence why we should entirely ignore poll data. Apparently AP/Ipsos did a poll from which it concluded that more than 60% of those polled think the new Pope should be a liberal. Turns out that most of those polled are not Catholic, and that most of those polled are, in fact, liberal. Why do we allow this garbage information to clutter our minds?
