Them Numbers Ain't Real

Now that we're heavily into the political season I thought it would be a great opportunity to talk about a quote that's been in my brain since the last (presidential) election in 2012. NPR was interviewing random people on the street to talk about how the polling numbers were shaping up in favor of this candidate over that candidate, and a gentleman with a very strong southern accent refused to acknowledge the concept that Obama could win reelection, saying instead, "Them numbers ain't real." It's a real crime that I can't find that interview, though I'm sure it's up on the internet somewhere. For now, I'll leave you with some very real numbers I've been drawing.
