can't help myself

When I needed the polls to be correct, in 2016, they weren't. Don't give me that useless excuse about the margin of error; they weren't correct enough.

But I can't stay away from 538's How Popular is Donald Trump. I see his popularity falling off, and I hope against hope that the polls will be correct, this time.

I appear to have given up any discretion, and am instead pinning my hopes on magic that failed me in the past.
