A nationwide poll of 997 people cannot give you a 3.2 margin of error. So, not off to a good start.

Totally agree.

The key is bias in sample selection that is not representative of the desired target population you desire to evaluate.

Garbage poll to prop up Harris. 997 “voters?” Registered, or likely voters? When you refer to independent voters it is generally registered voters. ‘Independent voters don’t always vote. National polls are garbage four weeks out. Electoral college means at this point only State polls matter. This was a Newsweek, MSN attempt to make people believe Harris is popular.
