The "I care what you think" politician

The representative system of government made a lot of sense when the US was starting out. Not everyone could ride on horseback to the town hall meetings. Today technology has allowed us to make virtual democracy a possibility. We can watch senate meetings, see how people vote, and get up to date information from our favorite lobbyist all from our couch.

Why hasn't any politician (that I know of) taken full advantage of this and put a small poll on their front webpage? Ask your constituents to vote on key issues so you know what they are thinking before you go and make your vote (that represents them)? EVEN IF you don't think their ideas are very good, asking people for their opinion is a great way to make sure they feel represented.

Politicians should have daily polls on their webpages that are largely distributed to their populace for daily feedback.

Right now the media is the one taking the polls and that is just scary.
