In fact, I would like to know why the pollster didn't notice when a candidate was omitted. Who was doing this, some temp worker?

But I am glad that we don't have the emotional fluctuations that this polling is creating, and in particular, that we don't have to listen to the pundits discuss who's trending, which - unfortunately, seems to actually influence voters.
