    The Times/Siena poll also somehow comes up with 12 percent support among Democrats for Rep. Dean Phillips, who has yet to get more than two percent of the vote in a primary. Even Phillips himself posted a tweet that said “When the NYT/Siena poll shows me at 12%, you better believe it’s flawed. Only 5% even know who I am.”

    It’s like in those ninja movies where the guy stabs his sword through himself in order to kill someone behind him.

      The only polling I even partially trust is aggregated and adjusted for quality (like 538). And only a month (…or a week) before the election. Polling is broken and only getting worse, for many reasons. But I guess there is money in it, so it continues until it’s worthless.
