Unlikely. Just look at how this poll was done.
Here are the biased numbers for the recent Economist-YouGov poll that gives Joe Biden a 49% approval rating. A first-year reporter could retrieve this information with ease, unless he were incompetent, lazy, or most likely biased. I guess most Dems are accustomed to living in such willful ignorance. They will swallow and pass along any talking point from the media elites if they are slanted against conservatives.
The Economist–YouGov poll July 10–13, 2021 — 1,500 U.S. Adult Citizens Registered 2020 Vote Party ID
Dem (324) Republican (235) Independent (260)
Ninety-nine more Democrats sampled vs. Republicans were included in the results. It is not hard to get the results you want if the polls are assembled in this way, and this is always the method with these polls.
A total of 819 from 1,500 participants. Does that mean the rest were dumped because they are not registered to vote or affiliated with a party? Were their answers included in the reported percentages? Were the others thrown out for having the politically wrong answer? I guess they just disappeared overnight. Where have I heard that before?

It sounds like you have had rental property before. I learned my lesson after less than a year and sold the property!
Didn’t Hunter like poll dancers? Oops, wrong spelling.
F*CK NO!!!
Fake ass polls from the State Run media.
All that comes from the fake news is lies, deceit and deception.
It’s probably 35% at best.
“The author seems to think R/D should be 50/50.”
So do most people who think they’re so sophisticated because they look at the “internals”. And if the breakdown isn’t then they shriek “poll be bIaSed!!1!”.
OF COURSE the liberal media contrives to get the polling results they want and wouldn’t even publicize any poll they didn’t approve of, as if that’s some sort of gigantic surprise, but the sample must match the underlying population and only an idiot assumes that the underlying population is 50-50 at all times.
Democrats killed the Republic.
They should be made to pay.
I disagree. If you're using a poll to get an idea how the electorate is feeling I'd much rather know how someone is inclined to vote than what party they may be registered in.
Didn’t think it could be that high. What did the pollsters do, poll twenty (D)’s?
True, it looks like Independents and Republicans are undersampled, but Biden did get about half the vote in the election. People who voted are slow to change their minds and people who didn’t vote are slow to take an interest in politics. Right now Biden is the guy signing the stimulus checks. When those stop he may become the guy responsible for a lousy economic situation.
Bkmk
Biden has been consistently underestimated. Some people still think we are in the 1980s. The country is much less white and the younger generation has been brainwashed by our educational institutions, the entertainment industry and media.
People are happy with their new benefits and many will remain grateful to Biden because he got rid of Trump.
Polls are designed to influence opinion, not "get an idea of how the electorate is feeling".
Plueese.
DEMONCRATS would give Stalin a thumbs up.
Useful Idiots do that kind of stuff.
So why does every political campaign pay for private polls?
