These Iowa Polls Are Useless, Go Take a Nap for 8 or 9 Hours.
We all know it is notoriously difficult to accurately poll in a caucus environment.

I'm a guy that follows polls pretty closely, and this race looks so tight that if you sit there examine the ins and outs of each final poll result that trickles out, the only thing you will get from it is higher blood pressure.

Polls before a primary and general election can give a much clearer picture than what we are seeing out of Iowa today. So I would say stop worrying about it, and don't gnash your teeth until tonight when the results are in.

3. I heard from some people who live in NH who said that in polls, a lot of
people give fake answers to the polling people. But on IA, its best to just wait, as you say.

4. I wish I could nap,
I'm too hyped, so I'm cleaning my house in between posting, and not doing a great job of either.

5. What's this? Someone talking sense and not hyping or dissing candidates?
Not even speculating (and claiming absolute truth) about back-closet deals for second-choice support? Go to your room, and take a nap.
