Simply put, a “registered voters” poll is completely worthless. It doesn’t matter whom is doing the polling. If you’re not actually voting, your opinion in a poll on a given political race has zero bearing on the outcome.

Not completely worthless when you understand the narative being pushed. DEMS have an advantage in "registered" or those that self identify as DEM, so having a registered voter poll inherently skews towards the RATS, thereby helping create narritives like "Obi at 50% approval" or "the majority of those polled favor XXXXXXXXX"
When they do a poll of "likely to vote" that is worth watching, but it costs a lot and needs a large sample base to crate any meaningful notations, except in micro-polling which is why the campaigns spend so much on "internal" polling.
