Yeah, be cautious of anyone that sources polls with screenshots and not links.

I looked into Data for Progress, and it seems like they sold out last election.

Party establishment started favoring them because they were good at coming up with polls that led to donations. So they've moved away from pushing for progress, and now push polls that defend the establishment.

A few years ago the founder was forced out of the company because it came to light he was betting on elections and using the company to try and effect the races so he'd win his bets...

And trying to recruit his employees for a straw donor scheme...

So them putting out a shady poll like this, is actually an improvement for the company over what they were doing in 2022...
