Thanks. So the best strategy is even simpler!

I don't think that works. Polls tell you the levels of support of the candidates, they don't give you the probability of each candidate winning which is what you need to figure out the expected value of the winner.

I guess it's back to the prediction markets (or fivethirtyeight) then.
