make some changes in polling AND how they report that stuff.

I know it is difficult in this environment with so many variables, but this is pitiful performance. I suppose it's statistically possible to get it wrong several times in a row, but bygolly I'd present it as a nothing more than rectal extraction or best guess.

Nothing personal.
