I'm fervently against them because they give no room for the indecisive of which I am one sometimes, I think.

I like polls. That said, I find the 'for or against' variety somewhat boring. So I'm against them. They rarely offer an explanation I deem worthy Undecided
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Against. Such polls are often misleading.

Because they do not clearly define their terms, they present a false dichotomy; giving the impression there only two choices,when that may or may not be true.

True - we need a "for", "against", "neutral".

Then we have the base granularity to build up any position.
