Pundits

There seems to be a tendency lately for opinion pollsters to be asked to forecast opinion. Does anyone agree with me that this is a very risky business for us to get into, particularly since the one thing we do know is that so-called public opinion is very fickle. Incidentally since Obama seems now to be well in the lead we no longer hear a lot about the fallibilty of opinion polling in the USA. Maybe Hillary’s mistake  was firstly to trail Bill along at all and second to have no clear view of her main platform; she might have done better to emphasise experience and knowledge of how foreign affairs work right from the start; and held the tears.
