Here's How The Polls Decide Who We Are

I blame Nate Silver.

If you’re like me, you check the polls every morning to see how close we are to temporary salvation or widespread panic.

Thanks to Nate Silver’s daily election forecast , polls have become the new coffee. Polls decide how the day is going to go. Polls decide whether we are unapproachable for the next several hours or as affable as Jimmy Fallon.

Polls are freedom. Polls are death. Polls say everything will be fine and then they tell us to prepare for the zombie apocalypse.

Save us from the polls. 

This video, written by John Trowbridge , shows how the polls decide who we are on a daily basis.
