As did Dean before the primaries. What's your point? We should
appoint politicians based on polls?


The previous poster said the real reason the incumbent party was voted out
was because the Spaniards were dissatisfied with them. But the incumbent
party had a large lead in the polls just prior to the attack, so that
seems
unlikely. That's the point.

The incumbent party got caught in some major lies just before the election.
Based on that the results are not surprising at all.
