**The Dynamics Of Political Opinion **
Public perception often equates a change of opinion with fickleness, rather than viewing it as an indication of intelligence.

In other areas of life, such as business, one would not continue to pursue failing strategies without reevaluation, yet in politics, individuals are pressured to remain loyal to their original stances irrespective of emerging evidence of failure.
