That's a great idea!

With regard to the polls:

I’ve been paying attention to Presidential elections and their coverage in the MSM since Reagan’s first term, and I don’t remember a single one in which media-sponsored polls didn’t show the Democrat, whoever it was, solidly ahead in the months before election day. Every single time.

They will show the Democrat with a comfortable lead until sometime in October. Then the race will be said to be tightening, and “journalists” with long faces will express surprise, and then suspicion. The GOP will be said to be “buying” the election. Campaign financing will become an issue.

Finally, just before the election, the polls will be “too close to call.” A few will show the GOP candidate ahead by three or four percentage points; this lead, which was called “comfortable” or “commanding” when it was enjoyed by the Democrat candidate, will now be called “a statistical tie” or “inside the margin of error” when it favors the Republican.

If the GOP wins, exit polling data that favored the Democrat will be used to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the entire election. Investigations will be called for. Lawsuits will be encouraged.

I wrote that back in June. Here's proof.

That is a precise description of any number of elections. The exception is the Perot influenced election.
