Opinion polls taken after a harsh, yet necessary, budget are quite meaningless. They serve only to justify the pollsters existence,
and the existence of those who report on the polls. Polls, and the feverish reporting of polls, are part of the snow-ball theory of reporting -
they want the so-called bad news to grow as the snow-ball spins around the media maelstrom. I'm sure Hockey and Abbot are rightly
oblivious to the polls at this stage of their government. They are real leaders, they shouldn't have to care about polls, and they don't - good on them.
