I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. NBC turned out to be the least accurate polling outfit of the 2018 mid term elections, because of their bias towards Democrats. Maybe also not so surprising anymore, next was Fox News (because of their Democrat bias). CBS was the third least accurate polling outfit, again, because of their Democrat bias. Of the nine major polling firms, eight showed Democrats doing better than they actually did. There’s your voter suppression polls of 2018.
Here are the rankings of the polling firms by their accuracy and their partisan bias:
