Political popularity is a common sense game. Everyone's belief in what others believe is more influential in shaping our views on politicians than what we believe in ourselves. This leads to information asymmetry, as we believe one thing in public and another in private. Therefore, we provide garbage information about our true views to opinion polls. This puts politicians in a predicament because they want to know our true private views in real time. However, if openly supporting unpopular politicians is socially acceptable, it also allows unpopular politicians to pretend to be popular. In short, both the government and the ruled have incomplete information, which can lead to policy errors. @vgr @hjhgk @selena277
