The recent opinion poll by Infortrak indicated that 62 per cent of Kenyans believe that the country is headed in the wrong direction. In as much as the veracity of the poll, just like many others, is subject to doubt and intense debate, it is apparent that the pollster simply relied so much on the public mood to come up with the findings.
