With its A- FiveThirtyEight rating, Trafalgar turns midterm polling into a clown show (New Mexico edition)


"Incumbent trailing challenger in New Mexico!" crows Bobby.

How was that first bite, Bobby?


In its final New Mexico gubernatorial poll of the campaign,Trafalgar projected the Republican challenger Mark Ronchetii winning the election by a  single percentage-point margin  

Instead, Democrat incumbent Michelle Lujan Grisham won by a comfortable 6.3 percentage-point margin.  That's a 7.4 point oopsie differential for Bobby.

Bobby has compiled quite the track record this election season:  4 for 14 based on this review.  He's batting .286.  A decent performance in baseball.  Pathetic, not even minor-league, in polling.
