We humans are storytellers, but if the story in our head is “I am late, wrong, behind, broken.” That story quietly dictates every choice we make.

The Associated Press and Reuters news and information services are subscription-based and used by other media sources (TV news, newspapers, blogs, etc). AP and Reuters are responsible for reporting facts and writing up basic stories, which they send to those other media sources, who can either publish as-is or use them as a reliable source for their own stories. It means those other media sources don't need to send their own reporters, but can still get the story. Will these polls lead to the Republican Party dumping GOP President Donald Trump?
