The Oracle of Uncertain Outcomes
Pollsters are like modern-day fortune tellers, except instead of crystal balls, they have clipboards, phone surveys, and the uncanny ability to call you right as you're sitting down to eat.

Then, armed with this sacred data, they confidently predict outcomes that are only slightly more accurate than your aunt’s horoscope. But hey, if nothing else, pollsters are the only people who can make a 3% margin of error sound like a badge of honor.
