That is interesting. Presenting public poll results is not really about poll results, but about shaping opinion. The struggle with the media in general is between reporting on the reality that they see vs the reality they want to create. It's an infantile make-belief: "If I put my gloves on, it will start snowing". But, take a large outfit like WP or NYT and it could sort of work that way, too! But, this also doesn't disagree with the original article that there was a large margin of uncertainty. In that case, a newspaper had a choice of mentioning the uncertainty and emphasizing it, or presenting the 3% in favor or their candidate. I think they went with the latter. Also, when Bezos blocked WP from endorsing Harris, I always wondered if he had his own better polling results, and he was pretty sure Trump would win, or he just gambled. It's like there are these secret reliable set of poll results to which billionaires get access too, while the public gets the watered down version. Going by the article at hand, perhaps him or his team could better read the results and didn't drink the kool-aid.
