Polling is a tricky business. Only a small fraction of the public—about 10%—even respond to polls. Then not everyone tells the truth when surveyed. If only we had more intuitive pollsters such as, say, the one drawn by Peter Arno (1904-1968) in a 1964 New Yorker cartoon! The original art was sold at auction yesterday:
