Walt "Pogo" Kelly On Polls

The polls are all over the place, if you've noticed. Yeah, Trump is consistently in the lead, but by how much and how everyone else lines up varies, a lot.

Besides polls tending to be "push," and results being what the folks who paid for the poll want, there's 'nother thang.

'Way back when, Walt "Pogo" Kelly wrote about this.

Whenever newspapers wanted to change up the comic strips, they'd poll their readers, and Pogo would consistently come out on the bottom.

The newspaper would drop Pogo. And that's when the great silent Pogo majority would send up a howl and get Pogo re-instated.

It's who answers polls as well as everything else.

The vote is the only poll that will matter.

Oh, um, if democracy were allowed to work. But alas...
