How many millions are spent each year in Aus on polls?
The truth is these polls are regularly used to destablise recently elected governments and deligitamise their efforts to follow through on their policy promises made while electioneering.
Polls have been used on many occasions here as evidence of a failing government and even outright stirring the pot.

I'm pretty sure the polling firms give them away to advertise their market research services to potential clients.

Any undue influence polls have on politics is dwarfed by the influence of political donations and lobbying.
