re: Why is no one in the media questioning the polls when the data doesn't even make sense?

Because life having improved doesn't necessarily change someone's vote at all.
For instance, my life improved a lot during the Obama administration. I got a great job, many things in my life improved, I was considerably better off in 2016 than in 2008.
And yet, it didn't make me considering voting Democratic, not at all. Why should I?

Exactly, the president is not hugely responsible for the economy or stock market. Trump getting blame right now for unemployment being high because of covid is dumb. But trump getting credit for the stock market being up is just as dumb.
Having talked to many different voters, take this with a grain of salt, I've noticed, most will continue voting r or d as they did 4 years ago.
But, most dems are more motivated because Biden is a better candidate than Clinton, and there is just a lot of anti trump sentiment.

For me the demerits under Obama were obvious because the way it affected me was easily apparent.
Under Bush I usually had a tax return. Under Obama I suddenly owed a bit of money to the IRS each year even after I tried to adjust my with holdings to be more accurate.
On top of that, I worked for a Japanese company at that time. Japanese companies take healthcare for their employees pretty seriously.
I had great coverage, and paid nothing extra for it per month. The company 100% covered all costs.
After Obama care, costs rose so high that the company sent out an apology letter that employees now had to chip in. The company would still cover the bulk of it but now I would see a cost subtracted from my paycheck.
Under Obama I got promoted, made more money, then switched jobs for another pay increase...but because of all the detriments I could see I could have been getting more.
