@LiberalLibrarian Why? It's the NYT. They put their thumb on every weigh in on polling as in as well as how they extrapolate data from polls.
The only poll that's gonna matter is the election and the exit polling, at most. Don't let the NYT of all outlets dictate your mood or outlook. They are all in on suppressing demographics so you'll feel less inclined to vote (and/or care).
Apathy peddling is their job now.
