Id say about 80% of the pollster community leans left as they are producing some of their own polls. The same media that has lied over and over and over again the last 15 years.
Once you figure that out, you know which polls are correct and which are just lib propaganda,
No, you know which polls are correct by going back and looking at which polls were correct over the years.
You act like you can't grade pollsters based on their actual performance, or using a large data set, which 538 does.
It doesn't matter a bit what political lean they are. Their results are their results. Numbers don't lie.
And why are you looking at just 2020 when most of these pollsters have been around for years or decades beyond that? Some of the pollsters in the 538 ratings have over a thousand polls in their data set.
And LOL at Trafalgar. They're one of the least-accurate pollsters out of the 300+ pollsters rated. Them being more right than some pollsters in 2020 is just an example of a broken clock being right twice a day. Their results are horrid when you grow the sample size beyond that one data point.

Yeah but if your poll is chronically off by more than most other polls (Trafalgar) there's no way to interpret that other than your poll is not as accurate as other polls.
Likewise, if your poll is consistently tighter to the actual election result it's fair to say your methods are likely superior and your results more reliable relative to other pollsters.
