Polls and stocks--don't watch them day by day
Never bother with polls a couple of days after an event or a controversy. Same way you don't sell or buy stocks based on day-by-day fluctuations.
Both are sure loser strategies, for the same reasons--random fluctuations based on short-term events don't tell you squat about long-term trends in prices or electoral support.
