POLL QUESTION: What would you tell a political pollster?

With less than a month to go until the elections, one of the most reputable polling groups is predicting that once again, Republican voters are being undercounted.

The Trafalgar Group, which had the most accurate poll in both 2016 and 2020, believes most Republican voters are remaining "submerged" due to the despicable attacks from Joe Biden and the Democrats.

"People are so nervous" said Robert Cahaly, founder and senior strategist and pollster for Trafalgar, "Biden in his speech declared that MAGA supporters are the enemies of the state, and I would call them submerged voters. They're not putting stickers on their car anymore, they're not putting signs in their yard, so I would say all polls including ours, will underestimate the Republican strength and turnout this year."

Polling numbers for Republicans have been on the rise, and it's not a surprise to the Chairman of the Republican Party of Texas, Matt Rinaldi.

"I think everybody knows that the polls are undercounting Republicans" Rinaldi told KTRH, "Trafalgar in the Trump era has become the gold standard of pollsters, because they have found ways to work around Republican voters being undercounted."

And while Republican voters may or may not be willing to speak with a pollster, the issues for all voters are still the same.

"This is an election about Biden" Robert Cahaly said on FOX, "Before it's all said and done, it's going to be the only thing that matters. When you're running with Biden, the voters are looking at a big red button that says stop the Biden agenda, and a blue button that says continue it. I think voters are going to press that red button."

Matt Rinaldi agrees wholeheartedly, "I think it's very possible that we come out with 53 Senate seats, people realize the polls are off. So I think we're going to see it again, Republicans out perform the polls which are themselves pretty good for Republicans right now."

Election day is now just 3 weeks away.

That leads us to the poll question today.
