A straw poll is an informal type of Voting where the results of the poll have little or no direct results, other than to gauge opinion. Straw polls are commonly used in American political Caucus es, where the primary goals are to select Delegate s and vote on Resolution s. The results of the straw polls may or may not influence the delegates as they participate in political conventions after the caucus. This Idiom alludes to a straw used to show in what direction the wind blows, in this case the wind of public opinion. |
