Contradicting opinion polls ploy to create a bandwagon effect

Barrack Muluka (Standard newspaper of June 2, 2017) wrote,

“Finally, I have been asked about the latest opinion polls. This is political mumbo jumbo. It should be ignored with the contempt that it deserves. For the claims in the polls do not sit happily together. Seventy per cent of Kenyans think the country is headed in the wrong direction. Yet nearly 50 per cent will vote for the person driving Kenya in that wrong direction. Between Kenyans and the pollsters, someone is operating on icy porridge in the head.”
