11. People don't vote by county in US presidential elections. This was a national poll of 1,000 voters

(registered), so the number of people in "swing counties" and battleground states will have been so small that the margin of error is laughably huge.

The 8 point lead in battleground states had a bit of meaning, but again, if, what , 25% of the country live in those states, then it's effectively a poll of 250 people, with a large margin of error - 5%.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
