I am saying that all political polls provide one data point and can be subject to bias and have a margin of error, which is why meta-analyses are a better indicator. The information provided by polls can also be interpreted in ways intended to present findings that are not actually substantiated by the data and can be presented in a way favoring one side or the other using the exact same data.
