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.
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

They do shorter polls and a mix of phone/online/etc. to try and get more average Joe's to participate in them, which of course would give you a more accurate result
Think about it, who answers these other 50-question phone polls?
1. Dems that love telling you how liberal they are
2. Never-Trumpers that love telling you they're flipping
3. Old People on both sides
Of those 3 groups, what kind of responses would you expect to get on a poll where 20 out of 50 questions are about Covid?
