I started following the Voice polls at the end of last year.

I found it interesting that the fall seemed to be accelerating, given I had seen Peter Brent’s pieces from January that suggested that the Voice was doomed. I felt that putting a curved trendline on it was a bit out on a limb (it’s only 16 data points), but I put it out there like that anyway.
