This is going to sound really strange coming from a person that participates in political threads a lot, but it would probably be easiest on the site owner and moderators if they weren't allowed.
Having said that, I also believe that there is some value to having them allowed. I know that there are some things that I've learned that I wouldn't have otherwise (some things that coincided with my previous political views and some that didn't).
So, I guess if there was a poll, I'd have to vote a definite maybe:hmm:
