This is different. He was basically unknown, last visible in politics in 1996 or so. He isn't a member of any big party and by that I don't mean just the mainstream ones, but like, the top 10 parties in the country.

He's a nobody.

Like that, your defense of bad polling is that only the people who control the polls should have a say in who is elected.

“He’s a nobody!” means “He isn’t supported by our media and elites and corporations”

Have you ever considered that is the reason he did well?
