ParadoxDiff: Hard
Logic Breakdown
Passage Summary: A poll taken at people's houses showed the current leader winning by a lot, but the challenger actually won the election.
Reasoning: N/A
Analysis: We have a classic polling mystery here. To resolve this, we need to find a reason why the poll results didn't translate to the ballot box. Perhaps the 'at-home' demographic didn't represent the actual 'at-the-polls' demographic, or maybe Kenner's supporters were all talk and no walk. Look for an answer that identifies a meaningful difference between the people who were interviewed and the people who actually voted.
