poll sucker

Someone who relies heavily on political or other polls. Even though the media conducts polls on a seemingly daily basis, it is hard to find anyone who has actually been contacted, or knows someone who has. This tends to support the theory that pollsters are actually the guy who passes the bong to the journalist as they snicker like school girls over their snow job.

The poll sucker, however, views polls as infallible. They will even quote poll numbers in an argument.

Shirley: "Wow, Dick Cheney's approval rating is higher than Obama's!"

Lou: "Don't be such a poll sucker. Someone pulled those figures out of their butt."
