They had the Trafalgar guy on CNN, of all places, and actually gave him a pretty fair shake, pointing out that he was the most accurate and the only one that predicted a Trump victory in 2018 and Republicans doing much better than predicted in the House in 2020. I think he terrified them; he said despite other pollsters talking of a democrat surge, his polling is actually showing the exact opposite, Republicans are solidifying and expanding their leads across the country. He predicted that Republicans will win the House easily and a likely (about 70% chance) to take the Senate as well.

Thy asked him why his polling differs so much from other polling outfits. He said that basically "MAGA" Republicans are really difficult to poll because most simply refuse to participate. However, the "Establishment" anti-Trump Republicans will talk to pollsters, so the other polls are heavily weighted with establishment Republicans that tend toward moderate and liberal, which skews polling toward democrat candidates, but misses the huge swath of pro-Trump Republicans.

Other than Tucker, does Fox News ever mention Kari Lake?

Huh? "[P]redicted a Trump victory in 2018 ..." Yes, I hope his view of the conservative trend is correct ... but this quote is not very comforting.

It’s called “Please don’t fire me Mr. Licht!”
