Hey Kids! Let's Play Pik-a-Poll!

Choose the poll that gives you the results you like best and stick with it. Pay no attention to any other polls. That way, your biases will be confirmed and you can believe your favorite candidate is, you know, "SURGING."

Polls are worth following, of course, but they are only glimpses of what a small group of people who are being polled think at the time they answer the poll's questions. What questions? Well, it's worth looking at the details of polls, but that's a lot of work. Why bother? Just pick the poll that agrees with your position and go with that one.

Because why? Because polls don't matter, really, this far ahead of even the first caucuses and primaries. The news changes daily, and so do the poll results. They'll keep shifting from day to day, since whoever gets the headlines gets a temporary boost.

So, why not join the game of Pik-a-Poll? You'll feel better and won't have to worry. Your candidate is doing just fine in the poll you picked. Yessirree!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

In a long slog like this I’m only really interested in looking at trend lines. As long as the poll is taken in a consistent manner it’s valuable information(kind of 😁 .

I could look for a poll favorable to trump, but I haven't got the stomach for it.

Game over, well done MM
