Known as “social desirability bias,” it refers to the effect of respondents not telling the truth about whom they will vote for because they think their choice will be viewed unfavorably by others, including those conducting the survey.

Or, that it goes on your permanent marketing record.

I just hope Trump wins in a landslide and we all say, yea, I could have seen that coming but am a bit surprised after the 24/7 attacks by the media even had me wondering if the world could be this crazy.

The democrats are the terrorist party.
When Obamacare was passed, my wife and her friend at work both were diagnosed with breast cancer. They both changed their registrations to Independent. People aren’t stupid and it’s obvious what the democrats will do to you.
Ever hear a Democrat complain about a conservative being fired? Hell they openly damaged businesses like Walmart and Chick-fil-A.

Cahaly said the social desirability bias he is seeing is “worse than it was four years ago.

So if this is accurate, then President Trump leads Biden by 10 - 15%. 8>)

That was before four years of Trump; just wait until this year.

This is apples and oranges.

The 2016 poll was taken November 6, two days before the actual election.

THIS current poll is June 2020, almost 6 months before the election.

What did Trafalgar poll in June of 2016?

They had Hillary up by 8!!!

Michigan was close in '16.Given that it,a "rust belt state",is close even now I think bodes well for the President.If the unemployment/job creation figures are as positive over the next few months as they were for May that,too,would help him a lot.

I sincerely hope that his ads feature images of the firebombing of police cars and the defacing/destruction of statues...particularly in the states that he flipped in '16.And I hope that the recent comment made by the bull dyke,Rat Party Attorney General of Massachusetts (Maura Healy) is also featured in his ads.That comment,of course was, "yes,America is on fire but that's how forests grow".

Yikes! Just clicked on the link and read a little further.The author says that black support for the President is about twice what it was in ‘16??? If true that alone could guarantee the President again carrying the states he flipped in ‘16!

Real Clear Politics’ claim to fame is ...

Does anyone really believe data, polls etc. that’s being put out there now? Nothings trustworthy that’s being shoveled out there anymore.

Social desirability bias . . . interesting term. I’m making myself speak out more when I see the cancel culture at work. I’m retired, so they can’t fire me. We live in a place where there aren’t many conservatives, so I’m used to being isolated. I have more to lose if this swings into totalitarianism than I do by speaking out and perhaps helping wake up someone local - just a little. It is difficult to step up to ridicule but they aren’t shooting most of us - at least not yet.
