I share your skepticism; I'm just going where the data is taking me at this point in time.
It's better to understand it than to ignore it or to just dismiss it out of hand.
I do look for internally inconsistent polls when the topline is totally out of whack with the details. Take a look at this poll for an example of what I mean. Scroll down to my post #93 to see why this poll was skewed. This is definitely what I would call an "insane" poll.

The Trump-Musk call had a very large audience. Dems already filed a complaint with the FEC. I expect it to be a dud.
