GET ME REWRITE: Does Trafalgar chief pollster Robert A. Cahaly realize he's talking about himself?

 

Meet the GOP wet dream fantasy pollster.

Poll numbers:  @Trafalgar_Group

Headline:  KTRH, 9/26/2024

Election projections have been all over the place. Some national polls show Vice President Kamala Harris with a slight advantage while some notable pollsters believe Donald Trump is leading in the race for the White House. Regardless, we won't have an answer on who will win until election day, or maybe, but hopefully not, a day or two after. 

Robert Cahaly, Chief Pollster of the Trafalgar Group, said every polling group has up and down years but it's the cumulative that really matters. 

"Some of these groups are just historically bad," he said. "In the modern era, you just can't get over how wrong they've been."

Live by the polls, die by the polls
