Most people are not willing to inform anyone who they are really voting for. They are tired of being labeled as homophobic, Islamaphobic, misogynistic, and racist. So they just keep their mouths shut and tell people what they want to hear and then do what they want when they actually vote.

That is why Hilary was going to win in a landslide that did not happen. The only people that believe the MSM polls is the MSM. It is going to be a repeat of 16 in 18, and in 20.

The polls were accurate in 2016, showing Hillary winning the popular vote by 2 or 3 points which she did. There were a few bad state polls, such as Penn, OH (which showed a close race with Trump winning, but which Trump won by 9 or 10 points), WI, MI - but all those polls were close and Trump won MI, WI and Penn by a total of only 77,000 votes. Most state polls were accurate...AZ showed a close win for Trump, which he won by 4 or 5 points. It's easy to scream bad polls, but they weren't as bad as people want to believe.

Remember, margin of error works both ways. If a poll shows Trump ahead by 48 to 45 and the margin of error is three points...then that means Trump's support could be as low as 45 or as high as 51. Likewise, the dem could be as low as 42 or as high as 48.
