The worst one was the one among Dem primary voters in 2020, when it was clear that Biden will be the Dem nominee. Biden said something very pro-fracking and the polls a few days later showed that Dem primary voters completely switched on fracking, from ~70% oppose to ~60% favor. It wasn't even a question on "how you feel", it was a question on a very specific policy. "Oh, I guess I like fracking now, whatever".
Tbh this may very well be related to the phenomenon that opinion polling on any given issue can be swayed to a large extent by how questions are phrased and biased by preceding question. Like I don't think it's either people changing their opinion, or people blindly siding with their "team". It's that many democrats don't have a strong opinion on fracking, and by affirming their current support for Biden prior to question on facking a subconscious bias was introduced.
Really makes the whole dem "We govern by following polls" especially fucking stupid. Like its called being a leader, yes you listen to the people's needs first and foremost, but more importantly you educate and guide them.
