You don't have to obsess over the polls, but polling data is valuable information for those who vote in primaries.
If a primary voter likes three candidates more or less equally, but one polls really bad and another really well, then that can help make an informed decision to select the candidate with the best chances to win the general.
"We polled five people at the Fuck Trump Convention if they would vote for Trump. Extrapolating this data, we can see that nobody in America will vote for Trump next year."
Polling in the US hasn't been super accurate the last few go rounds. That's likely due to the market being flooded with shitty low efficacy polls but it does make it hard to believe news that announce "polling says"
That's not necessarily true. The polls in 2022 were extremely accurate. The fact that the media created a "red wave" narrative despite the polling is a totally separate issue.
This polling won't help you vote in the primaries. In the primaries you vote for whomever you feel is the top candidate. Then in the general you vote for the best candidate left. This is just click bait.

Except they're not telling us the quality of the polls. I'm guessing a bunch of these are shitty polls.
