The best part about their polls is that they do IVR polling (press 1 for Trump, press 2 for Biden) and not live calls. They somehow think that people would not be comfortable pressing 1, instead they press 2. They then readjust some of the 2's and turn them into 1's. Crazy stuff.
Another thing that I think they really miss on are the reliance on 'who do you think is going to win' or 'who do you think your neighbours will vote for' sorts of questions. If someone doesn't see why the average person may have very warped and incorrect answers to those questions with the current political climate in America, they haven't been paying attention.
