7. Why do people trust polls?

Doesn't anyone remember the rating agencies that gave AAA ratings to the phony derivatives being sold by the banks?

If someone says they are running an honest poll who can you believe about that?

Let's just run the campaign as if we were fighting for every vote and let the polls go gather dust.

Sanders doesn't need polls to convince millionaires and billionaires to cough up money to keep the campaign going.

He's got us.

Don't trust leaders and watch the parking meters.
