It is 21 months from an election. It is utterly moronic for the Junk Media to be polling. Frankly the ONLY reason these polls are done is to help the DC Old Boy's Club pre select the candidates that will be offered by making sure only certain names get mentioned.

Frankly ALL "News Media" polling should be banned as an illegal contribution in kind to candidates. It done for ONLY one reason. To push or hinder certain candidates based on the editors and publishers personal predisposed to support a set of candidates

All of what you say may be true, however I find it interesting... sometimes the polling numbers hold up and sometimes they don't.

The broadcast media are very ratings-driven. They must have evidence that viewers want to hear this stuff.
