the insight briefly studying poli sci in the 2000s gave me is that polls are not actually terribly useful for determining anything besides how people who have the free time to answer the phone in the middle of a working day are inclined to talk to people who ask political questions
most people who say “we have to listen to the polls!” also can’t comprehend polls

former Cuban exile nightclub owner doesn’t have the same politics as a Reagan amnesty farmworker who doesn’t have the same politics as a Guatemalan DREAMer yet they all poll as “Hispanic”
