And really especially in the last last 2 or 3 election cycles, not as reliable as one would think and when theyre sponsored by interest supporting one or the other candidate, which all 3 polls were, youre going to get results that skew toward the candidate. They favor what you can to which you can tell from this is pretty much absolutely nothing other than theyre still working on a new polls can have to win or 2 to 2 different functions. They can measure where you are in the race or theyre used to communicate and message for the candidate that youre seeking 2 seeking to support. And i think these were more the latter.
