If we’ve learned anything this fall, it’s that you can’t trust the polls anymore. Barely two months ago, pollsters told us Michigan State was 12th in the country, Notre Dame was 10th, Eastern Michigan was one of the worst teams, a Stanford running back would win the Heisman, and a woman would win the White House. It all seemed believable, except the part about Eastern Michigan merely being “one of” the worst teams.
Based on recent shocking developments, pollsters’ reputations have plummeted, as you can tell by this updated list of America’s least-respected professions: Telemarketer, sports columnist, pollster, rodeo clown, regular clown, Big Ten replay guy, politician, Cleveland Browns employee.
