Trafalgar also predicted the following people would win in 2022:

Mehmet Oz
Herschel Walker
Kari Lake
Blake Masters
(and others)

All of those people lost.



All of these states had major voter fraud. That will nullify valid polling.

Always a convenient fall back to avoid reality. In 2022? No.

But weren't those all with polling up to 8/4 at the latest?

Some of those had radically altered the voter mix to show a Kamala improvement over Biden and provide a boost.

The MSM is waiting until after the DNC to flood the media with polling, knowing that Harris will get a convention boost.

Isn't it crazy that a politician gets a 10-12 point jump based off of nothing?

That's craziness lol.

rafalgar hasn't performed much better. They accurately predicted Trump's 2016 win, but have whiffed on every election since then.


RCP has them as third most accurate in 2020, but they sucked in 2018 and 2022. From 2014-2022 they are 5th most accurate ahead of NYT, CNN, Fox, etc.

Looking at the RCP accuracy chart looks like Trafalgar and Rasmussen both are solid for presidential polling but suck for congressional races.

Looks like RCP does not have any national 2020 polls for Trafalgar. Just state polls.

I told you why last week, they were using polls from when she got a RESPONE BIAS, meaning the Dems were buoyed by Biden quitting so more Dems said YES I WILL TALK, its that simple, Women went from 53% of respondents to 58%. You should never as a pollster allow a response bias to overcome the facts, but the Dems love Propaganda, so they have three polls from ONE DATA POINT SET, the CBS poll, the You Gov. poll and the Emerson poll all from one data set guy polling for them then they each TWEAK the info with their own interpretations/weights and thus all three being counted on the RCP average is complete BS, plus they all came from the exact moment she announced and just after, capturing a RESPONE BIAS.

They did the same thing for Biden after the State of the Union, a poll was released three weeks after the SOTU that had Data from just after the SOTU, its complete BS.

I believe Rasmussen doesn’t get money from any political parties or corporations. Therefore, they have to be as accurate as possible to generate income. Most of the other polls are government, political pacs, and media corporations funded.
