In previous cycles, there were far more primary polls

PA in particular has barely had any.

Pollings become more expensive and less accurate, no one wants to go out with a public poll and be way off and lose their private sector clients.

Because the polling industry took a major hit from 2020. Of course, they're not completely useless, just add 7 points to the GOP margin and you're all set.

85% of the polls during 2020 were hack DCCC internals.. obviously they don't like what they're seeing currently.

Lol the reason why Rs improved in 2020 wasn't they were hack polls unemployment trended downward from 9 percent to 7 percent

The polls were  going by Trump Approvals which we're still stuck at 45 percent

But, Tara Reade single handly handed Collins a victory in ME female voters in ME were ticket off at Biden especially in ME, most of our candidates that lost in 2020 were females like Boiler, Greenfield and Gideon and Abby Fink not too many men aside from Bullock

It's good that we don't have as many polls.

The more polls there are, the more inaccurate people's expectations become.

Honestly, any GE Poll in my opinion should have a +5-7% pro-Republican amount added in to have an accurate assessment of what things will look like in any election. If polls can fix that, then they'll be more accurate.

The pollsters just realized that they dont have to do state by state polls in a Pandemic but can poll Biden Approvals instead we all know what happened to Biden Approvals, the D's were getting back to 50 percent around the SOTU and Gas prices went up because Putin launched a war in an Election yr that was premeditated

Then, because we stopped import of Russian oil Gas prices rose but D's are getting their mojo back NBC news has the GCB tied 46 with those Biden low Approvals after leak of Roe being Overturned

The Rs had to win the GCB but 5 to get a 2014 result but when have the Rs ever won the GCB by 5 since 2014 and that was an R fav map, we have a Prez S Map
