If conservatives would just vote...
it’s crap.
these are “self-identified” conservative numbers.
Trump is certainly not a philosophical conservative in the mold of Reagan but in a relative sense, compared to Shillary, he’s to the right of Goldwater.
Trump’s big advantage is that Conservatives know for sure which day is election day...
I was just interviewed by a telephone pollster on my cellphone.
The lady apologized for calling and told me she would be as quick as possible. I braced for the worst and held on to the connection. The lady proceeded to ask me some background demographics questions, including what my name was (they already knew), how likely I am to vote, party affiliation (I imagine they knew this also), and how many cell phones were in the house. (This was in mid-day; I have been more or less excluded from the job market since Obama’s first term.)
All of the sudden, the interview was over! The lady thanked me for my time, wished me good day, and hung up.
Very odd...
I don’t find these sort of polls reliable. The problem is self-identifying. We need something far more objective such as asking key questions on positions. I find that most people THINK they are more conservative than they really ARE. GWB I imagine thought of himself very much as a right leaning conservative when clearly he was not. Same with liberals. Most liberals think of themselves are MODERATES, and many if not MOST moderates think of themselves are CONSERVATIVE.
