Trump pollster: 'There's a big hidden Trump vote'
Washington Examiner ^ | 8/7/16 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 08/07/2016 5:02:27 PM PDT by Angels27

They're not exactly the Nixon era "silent majority," but both Republican and Democratic pollsters claim that there is a secret vote for Donald Trump showing up in some polls.

The Trump campaign on Sunday stated flatly there is a "big hidden Trump vote" in the nation.

And during the recent Democratic convention, a top pollster agreed, saying there is a "secret Trump vote."

Longtime Republican pollster and Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway explained on the Today show that the hidden vote is seen when anonymous online polls are compared to phone call interview polls where people have to be more public in stating who they support.

For example, the new Reuters poll had Trump and Hillary Clinton just three points apart, where others that are phone survey based out Sunday showed a greater gap.

"The Reuters poll, which is an online poll, where Donald Trump is three points behind Hillary Clinton nationally, and I think that the important point to note there is that when you have online polls as opposed to telephone polls, Mr. Trump tends to do better, and that's because the online polls approximate the ballot box, where you're issuing your vote privately," she said.

"We think there's a big hidden Trump vote in this country," said Conway, who added that Trump internal polls project "tighter" results in battleground states.

After Obama, what do pandering Democrats do for a sequel anyhow? The Magic Negro’s magic has just about played out, and BLM is more disgruntled, if anything.

Hillary is a pale (pun intended) has-been.

They would have to do that for nine circuits. Split USSC means the lower court is upheld, but its jurisdiction is limited, remember.

I think it is unregistered voters or voters who would not show up on likely voters roles. Many did not vote in the uniparty globalist vs globalist elections. No difference; same old dead end for Americans. Registering voters for Trump has to be a major activity. A lot of American hate globalism.

It’s plain stupid to think they can drive a major party candidate from the race.

Trump’s Teflon is about a yard thick. He seems to revel in having it tested.

We live in Jacksonville. We’ve seen 4 or 5 Cankles bumper stickers & no yard signs for her. We do see Trump signs in windows & on bumper stickers.

We were driving home from Jax Beach 2 evenings ago & someone pulled up beside us honking & yelling “Go Trump!”. We yelled back “Build that Wall!”

Vote Trump 2016

It’s really not so hidden.

GOPe, democrats, The UniParty.

They’ve been pissing off too many people for far too long.

This must end.

It has to. We can’t survive another Clinton. We’re barely serving Barry.

Actually Trump is the reverse Bradley effect. Folks told pollsters they intended to vote for Bradley or were undecided when they had every intention to vote for his opponent.

Trum has a reverse Bradley effect folks are telling pollsters they will vote for Clinton or they are undecided or vote third party when they have every intention of voting for Trump.

I know a dozen or so Republicans who are not telling anyone who they are voting for. But they are definitely voting Trump in the election.

I’mont of them.

“My 23 year old daughter fights me wearing my MAGA hat in high end restaurants. She is afraid we will be attacked in liberal Seattle.”

Who wears a hat at high-end restaurants?
