Your support makes all the difference.As the vote to leave the European Union and Ed Miliband’s overwhelming defeat in 2015 proved, the art of political polling is not an easy one. Perhaps for this reason, one member of Donald Trump's camp is now looking away from raw data and towards the heavens for any hint of the outcome of the forthcoming US election.
In an apparent attempt to predict the outcome of election night in November, the Republican presidential candidate’s lawyer Michael Cohen appears to have indulged in a spot of cloud divination (the belief pictures glimpsed in the clouds represent portents for the future, for anyone wondering).
In turn, he has drawn attention to a cloud which he thinks resembles Mr Trump and claimed it is proof God wants him to be President.
“In case anyone is unsure as to who will be our next #POTUS, the Lord has chosen the people's messenger,” he wrote on Twitter alongside a photo of a fluffy white cloud to verify his claim.
It seems the pollsters may be out of work.
