1) Inclined to say no? Interesting. However the will of their constituents and national "horse race" type polls may not be in conjunction with one another.
2) I haven't met too many politicians. I tend to stay away from that kind of thing even on the local level. They give me the creeps.

Quote from Angrycat:
That said, I'm inclined to say "no". Representatives are meant to represent the wishes and will of their constituents, not themselves and that's what voters believe they're voting for.
but, you know, that might be a moot point. Have you ever met a politician with conscience?
