The US News and Politico articles are from when he was running in the Democratic primary. They said he was going to lose Iowa and New Hampshire, and that his hold in the Carolinas and Florida was flimsy. They were correct about Iowa and New Hampshire; he did not win those states, other candidates did. Obviously he ultimately won the nomination but the article was pretty accurate on the specific states analyzed. Once he won the nomination, he did end up losing to Trump in Iowa, the Carolinas, and Florida.
Jacobin is literally a socialist publication, so no surprise they thought Bernie would be better than Biden in the general election.
But you're right, polling isn't always accurate. Look at 2016 - every major pollster and publication thought Clinton had an easy victory ahead of her.
