Some personal news
> where "the latest polls" will mean (among other things) 538.
No, it won’t; 538 doesn’t produce polls.

I've heard numerous news organizations/corporations
cite
538 as the source of their analysis.

538 does produce analysis. They do not produce polls - they consume polls.

None of which matters to people who hear "analysis of the electoral race" on some media.
