Why would someone fear criticism from a pollster? I don’t get it.

The bright side is that Kelli Ward can start her primary campaign against the Flake starting today.

Yep.

I remember the 2008 election. I went to a few Hillary sites and those people said they would NEVER vote for Obama.

Except they did.

I don’t really take polls seriously until the last week or two. That is when their reputations really are on the line, because their poll results can be compared to what the voters actually did.

The rest of the time, we take their numbers on faith. Something I don’t have a lot of, regarding my perception of pollsters.

I have not been polled and yes, I’ll vote for Trump.

I live in a very liberal California county. I was surprised to hear a male librarian ask another liberal looking old gal if she was voting for Hillary and she said " Oh no, I would never vote for a Clinton."

Haven't seen any Hillary bumper stickers either.

I think you have put your finger on it: These days more and more people are realizing that the pollsters are, for a host of reasons, NOT benign, and so the ones polled are not as openly cooperating as they have in the past.

I live in a very heavey Illinois DEM area...LOL I am supposedly a DEM...but almost everyone you ask is voting for Trump..more and more of black votes also....

Its like the early secret Christians, whose sign was the fish. There was a lot more Christians than the authorities thought. Even the greatest Christ persecutor Paul was one of them :)

“...refused to say I would vote for Trump.”

“Why?”

Sheer orneriness. I am mad at all media, all pollsters, all government.

The hidden code can be measured by the Target Effect. Since April when Target went all deviate all the time, their sales are down more than 2%. There is your hidden vote, people who are disgusted with the elites telling them what is best for them. Oh by the way Target stock is down over 15%.

Trump’s monster vote isn’t enough to overcome Hillary’s dead/illegal alien votes.

If polled, I would say “none of the above,” or “someone else.” And then I’d vote for Trump.

I think I describe millions out there.

“Why would someone fear criticism from a pollster? I don’t get it.”

Because the caller might not be a pollster. (See Post #15.)

Ras was wrong (-4) in 2012. Almost all were, most -1. But Ras was the best pollster in 2000. Pollsters vary season to season as to who is the most accurate. Ras certainly is no worse than any other.

For ex., I found that Suffolk and CNN/ORC both asked for the “youngest voter in the home.” HUH?? This creates a large D bias.

Besides getting your car or yard trashed, if you identify yourself as a Trump supporter, you might get egged:

Or you have to run for your life.

I have a decal, I have a hat, I have a bracelet, I have a shirt...and I do not wear or show any...

I am a 100% Trumper, I work on his campaign, and am very active here in Utah, but I would not dare show any signs of Trump, my car would get smashed, the apartment complex won't allow any advertisement of any kind, and if I wore the shirt and hat, someone would TRY to kick my butt, and I don't feel like hurting someone right now, so I don't wear them...

That's just the way it is with Trump...and those that don't let people know, that's ok, we know they are there, pulling for Trump just as much as those that go out with Trump apparel on...

Isn't it funny, We keep Trump quite, but Hillary supporters, who is the biggest crook that walked the earth are out there pointing fingers and yelling like idiots...and we Trump people are quite, and reserved, just biding our time to pull the level for Trump...

Never even crossed my mind. Good point.

The left is so corrupt, narcissistic and juvenile that we live in a world where it is dangerous to put out a yard sign or bumper sticker. This is just part of that.
