"Shy" Trump voters will power his win
Yahoo ^ | 10/23/2020 | David Knowles

Posted on 10/23/2020 10:42:03 PM PDT by Cathi

It’s that same demographic that Trump often refers to as the “silent majority,” whom the president says will help him “win this election big.” Unlike the rally goers in MAGA hats who have memorized the lyrics and sing along to Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA,” these “shy Trump voters,” Cahaly told Yahoo News in an interview Friday, will show that the methods of most polling outfits are outdated and unreliable.

I do not depending on “shy” voters. I’d rather see turnout high and polls high for our side.

Answer a phone call from an anonymous pollster who is compiling an Antifa hit list.

Yeah, right. Nothing “shy” about it; this is self preservation in the age of the cancel culture. Trump voters want their cars, homes, and jobs left intact.

Pollsters are frustrated; one bellowed, “you have a civic duty to respond honestly to us!!!”

We’re out there and our numbers cannot be counted. But we will deliver victory for PDJT on Election Day!

Never ignore the non-shy Trump voters!

People should read the article. It is an excellent interview of Cahaly and explains why the other polls showing Biden way up are wrong.

He is an innovative pollster with the best record to date.

Good article! Glad I read that. He makes a darn convincing case. Hoping to see more of his polls. I'll have more faith in them- good or bad (hopefully usually good) 😃

No one can tell by looking at me, my house, my car that I’ve just cast my 2nd vote for Trump. And I am very careful who I tell.

Wow. Can we just accept those results as stated and call it a day? I’ll take those as final numbers. Go John James! He’s tremendous

Same here. I live in San Francisco. I have pro-Trump friends and acquaintances... hell, I was one of more than 37,000 Trump voters in S.F. proper in 2016. But if I put a Trump-Pence 2020 sign in my window, I would be inviting vandalism, arson or worse.

Thanks much. Just read through them. I actually posted earlier about torturing myself by reading a specific journalist every day (Allahpundit from Hot Air). He's a Never Trumper who can't stand Trump & he cites all sorts of polls & statistics. I've let people like him get in to my head! 😵

Here’s a recommendation for you to completely eliminate any more worries about the election.

Neither the interviewer nor the pollster mentioned Antifa, BLM, the urban riots, the cancel culture, Silicon Valley censorship, or mass media censorship.

These are all important issues to many millions of Americans.

It is little wonder the pollsters are clueless.

I called it the “Bangladesh factor”.

The pollsters know as little about the average American voter as they know about the average Bangladesh voter.

I get an average of 5 -8 calls a day that are either sales or pollsters. I’m in real estate so I answer every call. As soon as they say, “how are you”? I hang up.

For starters nobody really gives a sh^^ how I am. I despise that question from a stranger. Secondly, I like my stuff more when it’s not on fire or being beaten with a stick. I trust NOBODY I don’t recognize and I know for a fact I’m not alone.

I instantly “cancel” anyone that’s a liberal. They’re all on the same page now. Crazy mofos that can’t be trusted. Didn’t used to be that way but it’s the world they prefer apparently. I live in a “red flag” state so f^^^ all of ‘em.

A few months ago I got a call on mt cell phone from a polling firm. I just hung up. I know several people that do not say a thing political but are voting Trump.

Cahaly is a good and honest pollster. Another good one is Richard Baris of the People’s Pundit/Big Data Poll. Richard Barnes who often joins him is a very bright lawyer/professional gambler. These guys go through the demographics broken down in great detail. It’s amazing how well they know their subject, the history of certain groups in how they vote, etc etc.

For example, They agree with Cahaly that you cannot Just call people. Republican voters are 5 times less likely to answer. If you’re lazy and just go by what people tell you, your poll is going to be wildly inaccurate. Women are far more likely to respond to surveys than men so if you don’t normalize your sample for that and there’s a big gender gap......etc.

The only poll that is correct and actually matters is the one on Nov. 3rd. Everything before that is just squelch.
