All pollsters use a turnout model. If these guys are using 2018 as their turnout model then yes there’s going to be a big Biden lead. If they use 2016 as the turnout model, the last presidential election, then there will be no lead.

Polling companies need to make money like everyone else and so they market their contract to whatever media outlet wants a poll. There is no requirement that they be accurate. If that was a requirement none of them would be in business after 2016. But they’ve been able to sell their product despite it being inaccurate. The media outlet does not require it to be accurate, it requires it to generate viewership.

Just like the debate. Faux celebrates Wallace as Trump brings audience not him.

All they care about are clicks/ad buys/viewership....

Not reality
