Since hating on public polls is my main source of recreation, I'm going to start a 2020 thread in which I recycle insults from Chappelle's Player Hater's Ball to describe public polling. 1/
First up, Hodas and Associates + GOP "Restoration PAC" reporting past the decimal point for 600N in PA:

Whoa, here's FAU with a margin-of-error race in Florida that they suggest is bouncing like a superball because the y-axis runs from 44 to 54.

Survey is 1500N collected via IVR over three days, apparently putting cell numbers into an autodialer
Respondents were asked whether Biden (but not Trump) is in cognitive decline (h/t @JessicaHuseman). Also whether Trump is a populist and whether Biden is an "establishment politician"
