How is this possible?


Because poll can no longer be trusted. They have been “weaponized”, a tool to create public opinion not measure it.

Polling companies have followed the media in choosing sides and now they are paying the price.

Yes.

Most sensible people began long ago to realize that polls are used as propaganda. We just don’t answer them.

This is very upsetting to me. As an applied mathematician and Statistician I view math as a search for the truth. To knowing, and willingly bias a poll to shape public opinion is disgusting to me.
