Polling entities don’t lean D or R. A poll can appear to lean one way or another but that is because of the nature of where the poll is being conducted.

The three web sites in question aggregated non-partisan polls in an unbiased fashion. However, their editorial comments made it clear that the writers had political preferences (2 D, 1 R), even as they reported their non-partisan poll aggregations in an unbiased fashion (resulting in essentially the same predictions for all three).
