Poll

We'll close out this poll in which we asked whether Jeff Sessions was history:

• yes: 44%
• no: 31%
• why are you even asking? 25%

We'll replace that poll with another "political" poll in which we ask, whether President Trump will appoint Gary Cohn or re-appoint Janet Yellen for Fed chairperson when current term ends. The poll won't stay up long.
