On the contrary, there are many systems where polling is more important
to strategy. Plurality and IRV, for starters.

While polls can be applied to Approval, I think there is plenty of safety in
ignoring the polls and voting a zero-info strategy or one of the variants I
mentioned in my previous reply.
