Given Dismal Failures, Polls' Poor Response Rates Justify Skepticism
October 8th, 2016 10:16 AM
This is a volatile election year, to say the least.

In a Vox essay, Laura Kipnis, a professor in Northwestern University’s radio/television/film department, opined that "playing the sexual blame game" regarding Bill and Hillary Clinton "means being a right-wing patsy," and that Bill was pretty awesome back in the ‘90s, even when he was a bad, bad boy: "Wasn’t it always obvious that Bill Clinton’s so-called ‘character issues’ were part of the…
