So these polls are about the idea of Biden and not the person? That also supports the idea that polls don’t matter.

Yes, polls are obviously about the administration's actions. And people's opinions of administrations are obviously important - even more so with politicians' tendency to promise everything while campaigning, then focus on different things when actually in office. And this effect is even more pronounced with Trump's signature blend of contradictory word salad and shameless direct lying.
So it doesn’t matter if Trump lies then? because the idea of Trump is to lower taxes, protect rural jobs via manufacturing tariffs, prevent millions from cutting in line?
I'm not interested in another Gish gallop. I recall a previous exchange with you which you just dropped once I started digging into the superficial talking points.
