Flip Flops

Suddenly everyone’s watching poll results it seems

After writing them off as inaccurate has-beens

Due to that Nate Silver flop back in 2016

When guaranteed glass ceiling breakage did not make the scene

Since then each new poll flips newly predict an outcome that

Swings back and forth about who has just pinned who to the mat.

Since Joe stepped down and Kamala stepped up new polls each day

Predict that Trump’s slim swing state lead has been bleeding away

Whereas before Joe’s no-encore move polls predicted that

Trump’s lead had grown so far ahead we’d soon elect the rat

Back then the Dems grew despondent each time new polls came out

Lately it’s the Republicans each new poll has made pout.

With 99 days remaining until election time

Polls guarantee numbers we see will increase or decline

As back and forth every new poll prediction swings anew

To grant one side and then the other confidence that’s due

To what new-posted poll predict has finally flipped their way

Before newer polls flip to their new confidence betray.
