Why I do not trust both Ipsos and Infotrak polls

Latest opinion polls from both Ipsos and Infotrak will not determine whom I will vote for come August 8 and neither should the polls affect your decision. The poll results are not based on all the Kenyans planning to vote in fact only a few thousands respond to the polls.

Infotrak puts Raila at 47 per cent while Uhuru at 46 percent; Ipsos on the other hand shows Uhuru will win if elections were held today. This is enough reason as to why I trust neither of the polls. Again, a majority (63 per cent) out of the 46 per cent are Jubilee supporters while only 33 per cent support NASA despite sharing the same opinion.

Most people might be influenced to vote for either Raila or Uhuru during the general elections which should not be the case. These polls are simply here to keep track of what might happen during elections, which is not bad since the people voting are still Kenyans. 

However, what matters is the decision you will make come August 8 and why you will make that decision. Do not vote for a candidate because of personal gains or based on Infotrak and Ipsos polls; vote because you know that the leader you choose will lead Kenyans in the right direction.
