As pointed out on that page:
Updating average for each Democratic candidate in 2020 primary polls, accounting for each polls quality, sample size and recency
I hope this will help make some sense of the widely varying poll results.

We are approaching March. Field needs to be thinned out a bit more rapidly so we can all get behind one candidate.

(12,513 posts)5. These polling averages feel deceptive to me
Is there a poll out there that focuses on what really counts. We're calling them the battleground states or the swing districts. The places where Trump got the votes to squeak through the electoral college victory.
Are we currently close or are we beating Trump in those places?
Michigan, Penn, Wisconsin, Florida, etc.
