Humans are, apparently, innocent creatures.
How else can you explain that after the polls proved their unreliability in the last election, people still continue to read polls, review polls, draw conclusions from polls, and build various theories around what? - The polls.
""A poll is a lie!" and "A poll is a lie!" - these are idioms and expressions that were not born today. People from the dawn of election days coined this phrase, and it proves its truth to this very day.

Still, we closely follow the developments and connections of various parties with members of our own gender and with those who are not our own gender, and run to the polls to verify whether they have a resurgence or not.
Humans are probably naive creatures, but maybe that's a good thing.
Think about it, there weren't any. The election game wasn't interesting to anyone.
A big part of the big deal about elections is checking and seeing how we beat the polls. How we beat them. How we knew in advance that they wouldn't be able to predict the future.
The first thought that comes to mind in every re-election is: "But how did they go so wrong?""
That it doesn't matter to us what really happened there, between the various parties, between those involved, that we ourselves have no connection to those sitting up there, nor any real confidence in the results, or a great desire for the success of any connection. Because we don't know what is good and what is bad.
But the polls.
The polls are the point.
We follow them in captivity. For months we watch how they raise and lower, crown and remove, push and throw. And here - these great kings, with the scepter in their hands, suddenly turn out to be naked.
Compared to the long months of review, the disillusionment is very rapid. In the election campaign, they are revealed to be naked, to the point that every child exclaims: "The king is naked"!
But the naked king is not ashamed, he continues and stirs, continues and rushes, continues and shoots in all directions.
He receives budgets and drinks them thirstily, works 24 hours a day, surprises us every morning with a new blow and shoots in all directions what he considers true results.
And we, the people, will remain innocent, because if dozens of elections in the State of Israel have not opened our eyes to see the face of the poll, what else can do so?
We will continue reading about - what do the polls say?
To naively think that, indeed, what they say correctly reflects the future,
And finally, to be deceived, when the day came, as always, anew.
