Polls are frequently taken to try to tease out or determine likely directions and trends, but once taken, they belong to the past, requiring that new polls be taken.

Hillary Clinton Poem - Hard Luck First Lady
hard luck madam first lady
the way the polls go
it is easier to be first lady
than Mr President
the world is singing another
tune to the White House
hard luck madam first lady
the way the polls go
the votes are out but you've
made no headway
the votes are out but you've
not made any headway
shall we just call it a day
or go into another day
to see the votes go away
the race will soon be up
and they are going to call us up
the race will soon be up
and they are going to call us up
to declare us null and void
to declare us null and void

The polls indicated that I was feisty, that I was tough, that I had a sense of humor, but they weren't quite sure if they liked me and they didn't know whether or not that I was sensitive.
