Which, of course, you're free to do. However, to argue from the stance that "polls show ____" without knowing the actual breakdown of the poll in terms of methodology and hard numbers, well history has shown that polls can be wildly inaccurate and/or biased. There's a huge difference between 72% of 400 natives polled and 72% of 40 natives polled. There's also the question of how the poll was conducted. Website? Email? Phone Calls? What was the class breakdown? Were poor represented equally to middle and upper class? All of these things make a huge difference.
Numbers can, have, and will be manipulated to support ideas so they should be looked at with some amount of skepticism rather than blindly accepted. And they certainly shouldn't be trotted out as unbiased facts.
