You are very right about the recent performance of polls. Cynics would even start taking the looser of a poll as the potential winner. In Ghana, we have various 'prophets', 'pastors', mallams and other spiritualists predicting the election results. Many of them just use the perceived common sense approach. But that same approach shamed TB Joshua when he recently predicted a win for Hillary Clinton in the just ended US election.
Polls become even murkier in Ghana where people just wont tell the pollster their true voting intentions. And, some pollsters are also paid to just produce a result in favour of the paymaster. But like you rightly said, May Ghana be the winner in all these happenings

The polls conducted in Ghana are unscientific, inaccurate and unreliable forecast which do not clearly capture the overall voting intentions of many respondents and voters.
