I love looking at ESPN's polls before the whole nation gets to weigh in. This way you can really look at individual responses.
For example, on the news that Beckham is headed to play soccer in the MLS, ESPN asked if this will increase your interest in soccer. With 12,000 national votes, the verdict is about 60/40 no. And it will probably stay that way, since 12,000 is a big enough sample size. But what about individual states?
In North Dakota, only 25 people have voted already. And the results are in:
24 didn't care about soccer, and still won't.
But there is one guy, that 4% out of 25 votes, that is sitting in front of his computer fired up saying, "Awesome! David Beckham! I'm totally going to watch some MLS, eh?"
