Polls may significantly undercount Republican voters and supporters of former President Donald Trump following President Joe Biden’s speech that attacked “MAGA Republicans” earlier this month, according to a top independent pollster.
Trafalgar Group chief pollster Robert Cahaly wrote on Sept. 17 that Biden’s speech will make it more difficult to survey or even estimate Trump-aligned voters than in prior years. He noted that in 2016, a number of presidential polls and predictions regarding Trump and opponent Hillary Clinton proved to be inaccurate.
“In 2016, Trump supporters were called ‘Deplorables’ and other unflattering names,” Cahaly said on Twitter. “This was a major contributor to the ‘shy Trump voter’ phenomenon that ‘most’ polling missed, which resulted in a major loss in public confidence for polling flowing the election.”
In 2020, “people who supported Trump or espoused conservative values out of step with ‘Woke’ culture found themselves being ‘canceled’ or ‘doxed,’” he continued.
“This led to ‘hidden voters’ that ‘most’ polling under counted, therefore Trump support in key battleground states exceeded expectations. Now [the] Biden administration has essentially classified ‘MAGA Republicans’ as a threat to democracy marshaling federal law enforcement to focus on them,” the pollster wrote. “This move has created a new type of voter that will be even harder to poll or even estimate.”
He was referring to Biden’s Sept. 1 speech that targeted “MAGA Republicans” as a threat to U.S. institutions, just weeks after the FBI raided Trump’s Florida residence. Speaking in front of a red backdrop and flanked by two Marines, Biden claimed Trump and his supporters “represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”

But the existing polls show movement in a Republican direction anyway, so the Republican candidates are likely already well ahead across the country.
Of course the oligarchs plan to win elections AFTER election day, when they know what really happened. But the people are watching closely this time, so it won't be as easy. But they'll try putting posterboard over the windows, etc. anyway.
I think Republicans are more inclined to hang up on Pollsters, or give them false information, or just not answer the phone.
Agree. I hang up on them all the time.
Back before the Trump/Cankles election, I had a pollster call. By the time the call was finished, he was convinced I was the biggest Hitlary supporter in America.
Joke was on him..
I lie my butt of to them .
Yep. THanks to the deep state, you never know what “list” you end up on after answering a pollster.
I tell them I don’t do surveys.
Biden has virtually promised persecution for your political opinion, and the government seems to be taking steps to make it so, and I am expected to share my political preferences with any rando who calls?
The Deep State lies to us in the name of “national security”.
I lie to them in the name of “personal security”.
I was polled yesterday. I am convinced the pollster is working for Beethole O’Dourke. I told the pollster I am upset with the border crisis and just wish Governor Abbott would welcome the undocumented people into Texas. I did not tell the pollster that I would vote for Putin before I would vote for Beethole.

I tell them I'm writing in Hillary.
We’re not in fear....it’s just that it’s no one’s MFing business.
I walked out of my voting precinct after voting for President Trump and a pollster tried to ask me questions.....he didn’t get one answer.
Nobody’s business

Address with kinetic application of building supplies? Will the Feds supply pallets of CMUs the way they did for the BLM riots (I’m only speculating it was the Feds, but it seems logical...).
This is by design, it makes the steal easier. If the polling is in favor of rats because the GOP avoids the polling, then the stolen election looks legit since it aligns with polls.
This is where you and I can make a difference. Volunteer at the county elections office, bring friends too, they cannot deny you. It’s very hard to cheat with honest eyes watching. I have been a ballot/poll watcher since 2004 when the dimocRAT party stole the gubernatorial election here.
Pollsters may find it difficult to find people identifying as Republican right now.
And if Republican candidates receive a lot of votes in November?
Well, there are no Republican voters, so that’s election fraud right there. They’ll just put the winner in jail and let the Democrat take the seat.
Reprehensible comments or not just refuse to be polled. Period.
Biden does like to step on his CornPop a lot.
Dumbest and most evil WH resident this country ever had. I think he hates living in the WH which is why he’s at his real home in Delaware so much. Or maybe he just likes the Depends style diapers they stock there better. Who knows with that moron.
