Well it looks like a lot of people, including yours truly, were duped by someone posting numbers purported to be from The Trafalgar Group yesterday. While the North Carolina poll was legit, the polls from Florida, Michigan and Arizona turned out not to be and the chief pollster of Trafalgar Group posted this tweet yesterday. I always do try to find the original source of polls first by going to the actual pollster website. Next step is to get it from the news organization or political organization that sponsored the polls. Last resort is a news article referencing the poll if the first two can’t found. In this case I relied on the more mainstream poll aggregator sites that I normally trust that they already vetted this poll since they have the resources. Interestingly they were questioning it themselves from the beginning and it was not until later in the day they concluded it was not legitimate and removed it themselves. For me, I should have waited until it showed up somewhere in my first three choices of locations. I am sure it won’t be the last time someone posts something fake and fools a lot of people including me, but I try to be more careful myself.

This morning, we have a new poll from the University of Georgia for the Atlanta Journal Constitution that has Joe Biden and Jon Ossoff both up by a single percentage point in the state of Georgia.

US SENATE – GEORGIA (AJC/UGA)
Jon Ossoff (D) 46%
David Perdue (R-inc) 45%

This poll was done October 14-23 among 1145 likely voters.

Well after we got those numbers form Trafalgar Group for Michigan claiming Trump was ahead by 2%, we get a new poll from Gravis Marketing for the state of Michigan done on the exact same day as the Trafalgar Group poll (October 24th) that shows Joe Biden leading in Michigan by double digits.

PRESIDENT – MICHIGAN (Gravis)
Joe Biden (D) 55%
Donald Trump (R-inc) 42%

US SENATE – MICHIGAN (Gravis)
Gary Peters (D-inc) 52%
John James (R) 41%

This poll was done October 24th among 679 likely voters. So we literally had two polls done on the same day in the same state, one has Trump ahead by 2% and one has Biden ahead by 13%. The great news is in about nine days, we will see which polling organizations know what is actually happening.

Meanwhile CBS News and YouGov gave us new numbers for the states of North Carolina, GeorgiaGeorgiaGeorgia and Florida.

We are now less than ten days from Election Day and the polling numbers continue to confound. We will start this morning with new polls that claim at the same time, Joe Biden is ahead of Donald Trump in the state of Texas by 3% (according to the University of Texas at Tyler) and Trump is ahead of Biden in Michigan by 2% (according to the Trafalgar Group.

UPDATE 10/26 – It turns out the Trafalgar polls were faked by someone. Removing now for the record.

A new poll from Monmouth University provides an interesting contrast between registered voters and likely voters where Donald Trump leads a poll of all registered voters, but when reduced down to likely votes, Joe Biden holds a small lead.
