"Really, you know the polls are for the papers and tv, it's votes that elect somebody."Except for these days there are a lot of people who look to the polls to tell them who to vote for. "Wow, Hillary is leading all those polls. She must be great. I'll vote for her."I work with a lot of people like this. College educated, make good money, but too self-absorbed and complacent to bother to do some research and critical thinking to form an opinion. I think some of this attitude comes from the chaos of the 2000 election when it became clear that one's vote didn't really matter.
