I haven't seen any reason to trust polling since 2016.

I never get directly asked who I'm voting for in polls, it's always "favorability" bullshit.

I hate all of them, but I'm not voting for fascist or fascist-lite.

Polls in 2016 were more accurate than 2012, but almost everyone except 538 drew the wrong conclusions: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-fivethirtyeight-gave-trump-a-better-chance-than-almost-anyone-else/
