He’s not a pollster. He’s an aggregator; that’s something very different. He uses many other people’s polls to weight them into one aggregation.
It's not wildly different, or not enough to distract from the meaning, especially when dealing with the general populace.
A pollster typically works for one firm conducting the actual polls, the aggregators are paying attention to how those pollsters work and aggregating them.
So sure, he's a polling aggregator, does this significantly change the meaning of the comment?
