Media thought Johnson was going to get 5-8% of the vote in 2016, I think he ended up with 3%.

Guess who those other 5% actually voted for

People may have issues with Trafalgar (unfounded, IMO), but +13 makes zero sense.

They use the fact that he projected Kemp and Cruz to win by more while discounting the fact that Trafalgar was the 2nd most accurate overall in 2016 and the most accurate in 2018.

If you read my thread, Real Clear Politics goes into it.

If Trump wins, it will boost Trafalgar big time and destroy the other pollsters.

If Trump loses, it will be used to crush Trafalgar.

All the stat gays on twitter are destroying these polls since they buck their narrative. Apparently Trafalgar has blocked the cross tabs which is kind of odd.

But still inject Trafalgar straight into my veins.

Apparently Nate Silver does. He throttles them like Twitter on a Hunter Biden story.


Rates them C- despite them calling more races correctly than several agencies he rates A+ and a lower miss margin that many in the A range.

When statisticians became propagandists where do we go?

And after the SCOTUS rules in opposition of voter fraud in PA Trump wins there too.

I got polled by Trafalgar 2 weeks ago and their questions were the most unbiased and non-pushy of any polling service I’ve responded to. I genuinely didn’t know the political leaning of the pollster and it was all automated.

Nate doesnt like automated polling. Nates an idiot.



Its much easier to tell an answering machine that you like Trump rather than a stranger.

To continue from the last comment that replied to you, where it inferred that 5% of the projected Johnson vote "flipped" to Trump as of the election, Trafalgar's head actually thinks that is the case for some of the current Jorgenson and Biden vote. Though, he still tallies it as what they say. The reason he says this is based on their answers to other questions.

We will find out on November 3rd if the pollsters have been lied to again.

I think doing this and then getting an accurate sample is the key. Although, I know very little about polling.

I mean, if Trafalgar is wrong, this will be the end of them.

With the way partisanship is going, Trafalgar will be commercially and publicly crushed.

They don’t benefit from being incorrect.

No it's definitely BS but Jesus, what kind of voodoo polling are they doing to have Biden at freaking +13?

I have a feeling that there are tons of Trump supporters out there just like me. We don’t own the hats or flags, we don’t talk politics to anyone, but we are going to show up in force Nov 3rd


TD and discussions with my wife and parents are the only forums in which I discuss politics. Outside of that, maybe 10 people know who I push the button for. Hint: I didn't do it even before Kav, but after Kav there will never be a situation where I push the button for a dem. Never.

exactly why i said the other day they're really sticking their dick out there this year

if you're wrong, but everyone else is wrong, nobody notices

if you're wrong, but the only one who is wrong, you're dead
