I think their official ones are legit. If I read correctly, someone posited a fraudulent Trafalgar poll and Nate Silver ran with the data.

Now he's bitching because he was duped.

I think that's why Cahaley came out and said that people can take things NOT posted by them but attributed to Trafalgar at their own risk.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Correct.

Also Nate has big beef with Trafalgar. After Nate coitized one of their polls, Cahaley came out and said they were the most accurate pollster in 2016 and they would be again this year and then he tried to get Nate to bet on it, to which he declined.

This is how I took it. Seems like the ones they post on their sites are the ones they back. The others almost sounded like they were experimental polls just playing around with the demos. I could be completely wrong though
