When you look at the metrics, it's never balanced. The last Presidential election really exposed that.

It was years ago, but the three earlier polls used standard methodology.

I am unable to scrutinize the UCB one as I would have to shell out money and since it is game over, there is no point.

But, examining the comments of someone who did, one finds this:

Startlingly, for a poll about a football team, only 31 percent of the respondents were “Cisgender men,” the other 69 percent being “Cisgender women; transgender, nonbinary, and genderqueer people;” the Berkeley survey authors found that the latter were significantly more opposed to the team name. The Post sample, by contrast, was 49 percent male. It also appears that the Berkeley survey’s respondents skewed younger (typical for an online survey), with 47 percent under the age of 35; the Post sample had a higher share of respondents age 50 or older (39 percent) than the Berkeley survey’s 33 percent who were aged 45 or older. Again, the younger respondents were much more opposed.

Not what I would call objective, but it's all moot now.
