Poll ratings nowadays are like online shopping reviews—glowing, scathing, or just plain fake.

One poll says Candidate A is leading by a mile; another says Candidate B is winning by divine intervention. Somewhere out there, Candidate C is still looking for their name on the list.

The results are as diverse as the number of polling firms, which now outnumber street food stalls. It’s confusing, shocking, and yes, mind-blogging—because they mess with your head and your blog.

Some methodologies remain top secret, but their biases shine through like a ring light on a wannabe influencer.

Maybe it’s time we poll the pollsters—rank them from most trusted to most twisted. At least then, we’ll know if the numbers we’re fed are cooked, raw, or just plain imaginary. Until then, we might as well consult a Magic 8 Ball. It’s cheaper, and let’s face it—probably just as accurate.
