Polls should exclude Florida and Michigan from national primary surveys
Correct me if I'm wrong, but eren't Florida and Michigan stripped of all their delegates? Aren't these states now irrelevant? If so, why are they being included in surveys asking Americans who they plan to vote in the primaries?

2. Actually, most states are going to be irrelevant
They should just poll the states that are involved in the first few weeks of primaries. I live in Wisconsin, and I know the nomination will be locked up by the time we vote.

3. They won't be irrelevant for the general election.
Many of the polls don't stop at comparing Democratic candidates. They also compare Dem vs Rep.

4. National polls are largely useless in determining state primary support
anyways.

Besides, I feel confident that by the time the convention rolls around MI and FL delegates will be welcomed back in the interest of party unity.
