“We have a new CNN/NY Times poll.”

It feels like there’s a new poll every day. Has it always been like this?

I don’t remember hearing “polls” thrown around so constantly. And who are they polling anyway? Have you ever been polled?

I agree with Whoopi Goldberg: polls are notoriously unreliable.

In 2016, polls had Hillary Clinton winning the Presidential election. In 2022, Republicans and the polls predicted a red wave. We all know how both of those turned out.

Leading up to the second Presidential debate, all I heard was that Harris and TFG were in a dead heat. I’m not buying it.

The latest poll I’m skeptical about is the one claiming 63% of people who watched the debate thought Harris won. That’s believable.

What I don’t understand is how this same poll has 37% of viewers saying that the now disgraced, twice-impeached, one-term, convicted felon won the debate.

Thirty-seven percent of viewers, who presumably have brains and two working eyes, believe that the guy who, nine years into his political career, still has “concepts of a plan” to replace Obamacare. The same guy who thinks cats and dogs are being stolen by Haitian immigrants because “I saw it on TV.”

Bottom line: don’t listen to polls. Vote in every election. Vote like your life depends on it — because it does.
