What would "good faith" communication look like, then?

> I remember very clearly sources like this* in 2016.

Can you elaborate on what exactly is wrong with that source?

(That isn't a pollster, too; that's a (meta?)analysis/aggregation, but that's a relatively minor nitpick)

Are they themselves claiming that they are "giving us the facts", or is that how they are being represented by others?

And are you talking about actual polls, or about predictions based on said polls?
