Because it is hot garbage. You can't create a national poll and then try to extract "battleground" voters out of it. It called something like 15 states battlegrounds and had a sample of maybe 400 from all of them combined. So, that's 30sih people from each state. That's nowhere near enough to have a suitable sample size from any of them.

You either need to do a national poll or a state poll, you can't try to do them both on the cheap like that. You need a sample of atleast 400 from the single state to have any confidence in it, and the quality state polls we are seeing show Biden ahead. We saw a REPUBLICAN poll today some out showing Biden ahead in Georgia, that's not going to be the result if he's doing poorly in other competitive races.
