Not even close.  This is not a 'correctly called race', Nate.

Trafalgar had Shapiro up by 4.3 percentage points.  He went on to win the election by 14.4 percentage points, "the biggest landslide for a non-incumbent in the state since 1946," according to the New York Times.

But this outlier polls made the news at the start of the weekend before the election.

Why?  Because Bobby thought he could tilt the race in Mastriano's favor.
Some call it an outlier... he calls it more accurate. On Friday, the Trafalgar group released it's latest polling on the race for Governor in Pennsylvania and it shows a much closer race than other polls.
