Gas prices have reached almost another all time high and we do not seem to be worried about the situation. That is ok; we don’t need to be worried. The issue of higher gas prices do not mean the end of the world like some people would like others to believe; it does however put a huge dent in the pockets of many who cannot afford all the luxuries that come along with free gas, if there is such a thing.

Every news agency seems to have its system of ratings and polls; each news agency is declaring a certain party member a winner, just like they [the news stations] have been doing for decades. These polls are only an estimate, a guess; they do not represent any actual figure. Previous debates in the past have proven many presidents and candidates who won elections, yet their debate ratings were low according to certain news agencies. We should all think rationally and not let any poll affect our judgement. If we were going to vote for Candidate A, then finding out that this very candidate is winning according to some poll should help us vote for that person with more ease. If we hear that Candidate B is winning the polls and we wish to vote for Candidate A, then we should vote with more interest for Candidate A since they need our support, if we were going to support them. If we were really going to vote for them, then a poll would not change our mind. It would only swing us away from something we were supposed to do, but now a newsflash is making us think otherwise only because of the poll. We had already thought up of issues and made up our mind.

Only the undecided should look at the polls as a deciding factor if they still can’t decide whom to vote for. Besides that, we should simply keep skipping the bus and keep filling up gas in our cars.
