No, doesn't sound objectionable. More info would be necessary if you really wanted to build a case against it. Specifically, what's new in the poll? I admit that I haven't been following quite closely enough to know, but my assumption from that tweet would be that the big change was Buttigieg gaining a lot of ground.
You don't think that implies pretty obviously that Buttigieg is tied for first with Biden? And not 3 points behind Biden and 15 points behind the frontrunner?
My immediate thought when I saw that The Hill is too established a media outlet to publish that title and not realize what they're doing: making viewers think Buttigieg had caught up to Biden as the leading candidate and was therefore all but imminent as a the frontrunner. Made me think of Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent.
