Pass them by, you don't have to look at or read anything here. If you can't make it just seeing the thread title then maybe a few days off.

Poll forum where poll lovers can discuss one point here and one point there.
Why is he up in this poll but down in that poll? And so on.

I mean, some of them do, but you never know when you're looking at one how valid it is. I just go to fivethirtyeight.com to see how things are stacking up overall. I don't pretend to understand the mathematical gymnastics behind their analysis, but I figure it carries a lot more weight than any particular individual poll. And right now, what they're showing is HIGHLY encouraging! Check it out:

So, I'd expect the posts to calm down some, Doc.
There's no point in them running polls the next couple days. They won't matter starting Tuesday.
