    Polls are easily, and usually are, skewed or produced in a way to get the desired result. Anyways… This one is garbage, too.

    I have a related degree and have done polling in the past.

    You’re using an ad hominem about the New York Times being secret Catholic Trump supporters, because you don’t like the results of the poll, but don’t know enough about polling or statistics to attack the poll’s methodology. People are upvoting you for the same reasons.

    Anyway, the full results and methodology are here:

    Here’s a website that aggregates polling on Biden’s popularity from multiple pollsters:

    Of course a group of lgbtq+/women-hating nationalist Christians say the party that is against them is losing votes and doing poorly.

    Why would they want to make it seem like a tight race and that Biden might lose? That’s likely to increase turnout of voters who don’t want that to happen.

    If you want to depress turnout of democratic voters, you would produce polls that say Biden’s almost certain to win.
