Polls are propaganda, Book. They should only be considered as propaganda. Meaning, polls aren’t designed to inform people of what the public is thinking. Polls are designed to make the public think in a certain way.

Clarification. The WashPost is the dominant daily newspaper in our area and I do read the Sports and Comics pages (or about half the comics) because their they carry the old classics mixed in with the new, more diversity oriented strips. On balance, the Post comics are far superior to the competing Washington Times. Still, I was willing to forego those sections and issued an edict some time back that I would no longer pay for the Post. So, my wife pays for the subscription to get the Crossword. I do walk down to the road and pick it up at the box.

Sports, comics, crossword and obituaries; that pretty well exhausts the value of the major daily published in our Capital City.
