Good catch, that's definitely a weird linguistic hedge. "Public polling" was an insider-y term once, but not something you saw campaign writers use much if at all

Notice how at the last minute here they call it "public polling" instead of just polling, as though tacitly signaling that it's kind of bullshit even though it's been treated every single night until now as totally legit.
