Cannot *wait* for Trafalgar to be consigned to the dust bin of polling history next week.
You'll have to wait longer. Trafalgar will be around for some time, and we should continue to pay some attention to their polling. Quinnipiac and Monmouth though, which were way more inaccurate and treated as gold mines by people on this forum and data pundits like Nate Silver, should be dismissed from now on - or at the very least one election cycle until they can prove their viability again.
Part of the reason people dismiss Trafalgar is their lack of transparency. They don't include cross tabs or methodology. They release an improbable amount of polls within short periods of time. The director goes on Fox News and feeds into conspiracy theories.
Yeah, Monmouth and Quinnipiac weren't great, but atleast we know they actually polled people. I'm still not convinced Trafalgar isn't just making up numbers. And if they are going out into the field and polling people, they should be more upfront on how they're getting their results.
