Poll Watching
October 25, 2023
October may be football season with thousands watching. But there’s another big audience. Those who are poll watching. The election season is in full swing. There are more sophisticated ways to measure who’ll vote which way, how, why, and what than one can imagine.
Yes, I’m watching too. The electoral college, Senate numbers, popular vote, and more. It has been said that real leaders don’t watch polls, they change polls. How true. Jesus was a real leader, sometimes popular, sometimes scorned, and ridiculed, but always behaving on his principles, not popular opinion.
How refreshing it would be to have such a leader today. We can vote, however for the person whose life mirrors biblical principles, not swayed by feel good, or fickle polls.
