Did anyone actually read that article? Seems not.

It wasn't about primary polls, it was about... GENERAL ELECTION polls.

"Democrats desperate to beat President Donald Trump this time around have been focused on one word looking toward 2020: electability. And polls should provide a kind of guidepost. But if history is any indication, polling more than a year away from a general election is terribly unreliable. "

But hey, what does 538 know? Why even bother reading their article?

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