538 dropped Rasmussen because they were too truthful.

The Ann Selzer Iowa poll 3 days before the election had Harris winning by 3 points Fake news ran the poll all weekend. Trump won by 13 points
She said in interviews she adjusted the poll based on how many Trump signs she saw in front yards

Some of those outfits intentionally select criteria for polls so at the time they deliver the poll, the results are so close that they can easily set up their client to ask for another poll.
