    Centrists are just gonna dismiss any poll they don’t like. Gonna see a lot of that in this thread. “I imagine they only called landlines, therefore [vaguely ageist sentiment]!”; “The election’s a year away!”; “Clinton lost, so polls mean nothing!”

    Generally speaking, you want polls to get better for your candidate, not worse. Even if all the flaws they imagine are present in every poll as part of a nefarious plot by multiple pollsters to make Biden look bad, the numbers shouldn’t be dropping relative to the last round of polls that were totally all rigged by the evil conspiiiiiracy of pollsters.
