Highly encourage it! If it feels intimidating, you also can try to get some friends and or family to go with you too (plus getting even more impact with more people)
Polls do matter. They are a valuable way for ordinary people to see how the election might be going right now and to get an idea about how the population feels. Obviously though, nothing in politics can ever matter as much as voting.
I agree that’s the intent, however, they too often can be misleading, used in misleading ways, or simply misunderstood. I think too many people sat at home in 2016 saying “Well, Hillary has this one in the bag.” Let’s not do that to Kamala Harris, and more importantly, to ourselves.
People like reflected glory, which they get by rooting for the “winning team.”
You see this when people with no investment in a sport pick a team to root for in a big game. It’s generally who they think will win, even if that guess is just based on vibes.
How many Germans with this mindset rooted for the Nazis, I wonder? It’s one thing to root for the top dog in a sports match but it’s unprincipled in politics. It’s another level of ignorance and irresponsibility.
The only poll that really matters is the election itself. Don’t be complacent! Get the job done and vote Blue!
Vote, get active, and get involved
Find how to register to vote for where you are
Find opportunities to volunteer for stuff around you
I need to do that mobilize thing.

A lot of people will vote based on who they think will win. I don’t understand this, but it’s a thing.

It also pisses off Orange Man. And with enough temper tantrums and mental breakdowns, MAGA might wake up to how fucking stupid that guy is.
