DU and Polls

We have a primary forum which is being overrun by polling.

ENOUGH!

Could we simply make a separate group/topic for polls? Please?

So many polls, so much bullsh*t.

Twice a month is fine.

Too much polling really makes the process subjective to the pollster.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Our elections do not go by national polls. Until we get rid of the Electoral College, it is state by state to win. So we need to look at individual state polls to get an idea of who is ahead.

Though IMO, the head-to-head against Trump are the only polls that really matter, and could influence my primary vote. The other ones are just pointless horse race stuff.
