What I mean is don’t listen to anyone who says “polls show”. Polls have been weaponized by every media outlet to back up whatever story they’re trying to relay.
Polls are only good for political strategists and only for forming actionable strategies. They don’t capture true popular feelings about any subjects and completely eliminate room for subtleties and nuance in the debate.
For example, why is she polling lower than Biden? Could it be because the VP role is traditionally one of someone who works in the background, so the general public has very little reason to think about her too often? How many times is she mentioned in headlines (successes or failures) compared to Biden and Trump? Who was polled and who did the polling - was there any accountability for bias one way or the other?
I mean she is polling worse than Biden so that would be rough.
Polls don’t mean jack shit. They’re basically the “mood ring” of the political world.

Take all polls with a huge grain of salt.
