It will be closer than Wisconsin.”He said the biggest risk for Democrats is “overconfidence.”Cahaly said the firm works hard to identify a pool of voters who aren’t consistent voters. However, he said that he believes most other polls are inaccurate, calling them “Pony Express polling that most of the other groups use these days.”For example, he believes that calling a small number of households’ landlines with long questionnaires isn’t very effective because “I don’t think average people take those polls.” He said such polling tends to over represent “people who care too much on both sides. Given likely growth rates now, the equation is predicting a Democratic victory.”His forecasting is pretty hard to interpret for a person not familiar with macroeconomics, but he predicted Clinton would get 44% of the final vote, with a Trump victory.

That’s not what other polls are showing. In fact, they all had Clinton winning by 3 or more points.”What’s that poll showing now?

Cahaly (@RobertCahaly) Trafalgar doesn’t have a recent poll for Pennsylvania, the third in the trifecta of rust-belt states that helped give Trump the 2016 election.As noted, Trafalgar, again, stands pretty much alone. Also note when choosing your estimates of per capita growth rates that population is growing at about 0.5 percent per year at an annual rate. Perhaps they voted provisionally.
