NC (Trafalgar): Trump + 3

[Alben Barkley]

Apparently Trump leads by three everywhere

Means he actually is down by at least 3 everywhere.

Man I can't wait for these hacks to get banned by 538.

I doubt they will outright ban them. They'll probably slap them a D/D- rating which will make their polls irrelevant.

If evidence can be found to prove Nate’s own suspicions (they manipulate their samples and/or data to get desired results), that might be grounds for a ban.

I thought they admitted to doing that though?

Well they admit they have a “social desirability” (i.e. shy Trump) factor but I’m not AWARE of them admitting to outright fixing their results beyond that. Certainly seems likely though.

Trafalgar should be banned from every average. Obviously fake and now exposed. Shocking that Trump doesn’t actually happen to lead by 3 in every state, I know. Hopefully this trash-fail-garbage “pollster” sinks into the abyss after the election, never to be heard from again. Just like the doomers and deluded here will.

Just a reminder: This is a pollster that has claimed 50 Cent’s (now retracted) endorsement of Donald Trump made black people feel more comfortable expressing support for Trump, thus he has higher numbers.

Why anyone takes them seriously at all, I do not understand. They’ll lose any shred of credibility they lucked into in 2016 after this election.
