Polls. Not sure if I believe them. It's not a science, probably more of an art. Polling firms still do their thing. How to take the temperature of a population?
But if it's true that polls tell us something, then I think they tell us that many of our fellow citizens truly are idiots. Is it true that 54% of Republicans polled think Obama is a Muslim?
If so, this is just stupidity. And prejudice. And a concentrated idiocy. And it makes you sort of despair about your country and fellow citizens. If there is a "silent majority" they are pretty damn ridiculous. What a joke.
