text: Polls are the opium that the 1% use to stupefy the rest of us. They use them to try and influence election outcomes and public opinion, rather than measuring them. We have just seen ample proof. Nice that G&M is trying to do the same. Clinton is a crook, the American people chose the clown instead. Frankly, faced with that difficult choice, I would have done the same thing. Nobody polled me.
