One thing we proved last time around is that national polls are worse than irrelevant. They are worse than irrelevant because they lull us into a false sense of security.

We don't have a national election. We have fifty state elections. As you note, the polls that would be informative are Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin. Because hope springs eternal, I would be curious to see polls from Texas.

National polling is a waste of money and misleading.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
