What should we believe, polls or how people actually invest their money?

CNN's poll numbers were similar to what you just posted, but they warned that they only polled people who watched the speech, which tended to skew Democrat.
CNN also had a Nobel winning economist on who said that using the day-to-day stock market trends as a metric for the economy is the wrong thing to do.
