Why don't we ban polling?

LOL. Classic Straha.

Worth noting though that some countries do ban publishing polls X amount of days before the election.

In Italy it's illegal to publish polls less than two weeks before an election. In Mexico it's illegal to something like 4-5 days before it. I'm sure there's others.
