ThisDay recently released two similar versions of what can only be loosely described as a poll on how Nigerians would probably vote in the Presidential elections. But what it really is, is a pile of horse-shit...pardon my French. At best, it sounds like the result of drunken gossip between their interns. It lacks depth, analysis, and is so shockingly out of touch with reality that only a dimwit would give it any credibility. For those of you who haven't seen either poll, check the images below

First of all, it’s interesting how the ThisDay poll gave Buhari as much as a 15-20% drop without any material basis.

It’s obvious that ThisDay tried to create a perception security of the states of its paymasters (Kwara and Adamawa).

It’s curious that all of a sudden, ThisDay is bumping up Buhari’s votes in Taraba considering that it is currently a PDP state whose godfather (TY Danjuma) is clearly opposed to Buhari. The big bump ThisDay is giving to Buhari in Taraba and the crowd that PMB pulled at his rally in Jalingo last week, may very well be a strong indicator of an impending PMB victory. Nobody can deny when a candidate goes into the enemy territory and puts a stake in the ground. PMB did that in Taraba.

It’s curious that ThisDay only gave increases to Buhari in small states where the votes would make very little difference and stayed silent in the large battleground states.

Obviously, ThisDay didn’t carry out a scientific poll, and it admitted that in its report, because any credible political projection must be based on a scientific poll or a regression analysis that relies on historical or trending data and ThisDay didn’t do either but instead, relied on a group of editors and their subjective opinion.
