This accounts for a political life that sometimes looks like a never-ending campaign, in which leaders extinguish wildfires, upbraid billionaire industrialists, or, as was seen last week, scuba dive in the company of a camera crew. Polling data has become an essential part of governing.Oh, wait, the Times was talking about Russia there (via), not the United States. Besides, our leaders don't extinguish wildfires. Never mind!
