***Before even a single vote is cast, what do any polls mean? Fodder for the pundits and talking heads, mostly.***

Horse races require a daily racing form.

The media has something on which to base their random acts of asinine.

Supporters need a daily fix of comfort. (guilty)

Detractors don’t believe polls until their candidate is surging. (guilty)

Others are the like tricoteuse during the French Revolution.

Polls are used as tools. Not to report reality, but to create a (desired) reality. Poll reporting creates perceptions and momentum. Headlines and narratives are based on them. They'll converge on reality as we draw closer to election day to persevere their reputation. This far out though, it's all about manipulation.
