And were going to win florida. No, youre not going to win in florida, senator. You are not. But that cliche, the only poll that counts is the one in that is most useful in politics as a signpost to tell you who is losing in the polls at that moment. Thats who always says that cliche about the only poll that matters is the poll on election day. But there is some truth to it. Polls in advance of an election only get you so far in terms of telling you exactly what is going on in the country and whats going to happen next in politics. And however you feel about the results of any particular election, one thing i think is always a little bit of a relief about th
