Supposedly, opinion polls tell us where the country’s at, politically–what’s in, what’s out, who’s up, who’s down, etc., etc. Supposedly the research that goes into them is Scientific. So we can believe it–right?
So… Here are a passel of “Trump is winning!” polls; but on the same page, we also find a Fox poll claiming that “Now it’s Biden who’s winning!” Which of these totally contradictory polls are we expected to believe?
Yeahbut, yeahbut! Fox has Biden winning! Apparently American voters are in love with Bidenomics, wiped-out borders with hordes of illegal aliens swarming in, teachers’ unions urging children to at least try switching genders, “Try it, you’ll like it!”–the whole Democrat DeLuxe Fun-Pak, we really dig it! (How many looniversity faculty lounges did they have to visit to get that result?) It seems this is the stuff that floats our boat.
What we have is a plethora of polls, no two of which are alike, and that’s supposed to help us make up our minds when it’s time to vote. (Remember Election Day? Whatever happened to Election Day?) Which poll are you going to believe?
They can’t all be right, because they contradict each other.
But I do find myself thinking that they can all be wrong.
Some report how Trump’s support and money raising has skyrocket since being convicted of felonies, while others say Trump’s support has fallen because he is now a felon, and many people can’t vote for a felon. We live in a schizophrenic society where everything is in flux. People hear on report and go by it, then they hear another report and go by it. I like our Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders saying, “Let’s Make Common Sense Great Again.”
These days, it’s very difficult to know what to believe. For any “fact” which is reported, there are any number of other sources claiming to contradict it. Perilous times.
And if you decide they’re all lying, then where are you?
