I'm a little more pessimistic than you and believe that when it comes to politics people will answer a poll the way they feel will benefit the party they most support. And polls can be skewed by just who they ask the questions to and where they live.
As for "voting accordingly", I mean people who, because of the polling info, will either jump on the bandwagon to vote for the #1 party or others who utilize the polling info to determine the party they should support in order to vote strategically against the #1 party.
