The Hill seems to be in Trump's pocket.
EDIT: Yep, a quick wiki shows that they've been slinging conspiracy theories since at least 2017.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Seem fine to me. Wikipedia shows nothing interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hill_(newspaper)
Also https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-hill/ is ok.
In 2017, The Hill hired John Solomon as executive vice president of digital video. Solomon inserted material from advertisers into journalistic copy, leading to protests from The Hill's publisher. In March 2018, he worked closely with associates of Rudy Giuliani, the personal lawyer of U.S. President Donald Trump, to promote the spurious Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory. In May 2018, Solomon's role was changed to opinion contributor, although he was allowed to keep his original title. In September 2019, he left The Hill.
It's all over the place here.
The Hill was the second most-shared source among supporters of Donald Trump on Twitter during the election, behind Breitbart News.
Hahaha, oh dear. I see.
You do realize that your a fuckin' troll, right?
You do realize I was agreeing with you, right?
What is a quick wiki?
Looking it up on Wikipedia
Well... In that case, I'm going to vote for Biden anyway. Good try anyway!
Lol, polls are meaningless this early out. Nice propaganda, though.
The purpose of these stories is not to convince you to vote for Trump.
By consistently saying “polls show that Trump is going to win by a huge margin”, when he loses by a huge margin, they will have laid the groundwork to cite the polls and say that it’s proof that Biden stole the election. “Trump was so far ahead in the we polls (that we clearly made up) that a Biden win was impossible!”
Which political news am I allowed to post?
The Hill seems pretty legit to me.
However, we really don't need a new poll every day. Maybe once a week?
Polls are garbage statistics
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The survey, released Tuesday by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, showed 45 percent of Peach State voters would support Trump, compared to 37 percent who would support Biden, if the election were held today and they were their respective party’s nominee.
While Biden still leads among self-described moderates and independents, his support is not quite strong enough to overcome Trump’s lead in Georgia, a state with more registered Republican voters than Democrats.
The poll was released as Trump emerged from Monday’s Iowa caucuses, the GOP primary race’s first nominating contest, with a commanding lead over his opponents.
As of Tuesday morning, the former president was poised to take the victory in 98 out of 99 counties in the Hawkeye State, according to election data from The Hill/Decision Desk HQ.
Yet, he faces a year with four criminal court battles looming, including in Georgia — where he and 18 former allies face charges of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act for their alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the state.
The AJC poll was conducted Jan. 3-11 by the University of Georgia’s School of Public and International Affairs among 1,007 registered voters in the state.
The original article contains 397 words, the summary contains 199 words. Saved 50%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
