I think it's pretty clear by now that polls are a sham, a travesty, a joke.
Of course, some of us to a small degree are to blame for that; whenever I've been polled since, oh, 1980 or thereabouts, I've never told the truth about my intentions. I've always lied, posing as an ultra-liberal fringe Democrat.
I do that because I resent being asked the question, and resent the prominent role polls play in politics.
But for the greater part, it's pretty clear that pollsters just pull numbers out of their asses.
I encourage others to lie to pollsters, and to not take polls seriously.
