"Many of Trump's supporters, especially those with college educations, are less likely to say that they support him when they're talking to a live human" than when they are in the anonymous environment."

"It's our sense that a lot of polls are under-reporting Trump's overall support," Dropp concluded. _______________________________________________________

Yep! I knew it! I just found out this past week that my sisters like Trump!

Hopefully, Trump's support will be even more evident in the confines of the voting booth!

GO TRUMP!!!

I never answer the phone unless I recognize the name or number. I’m guessing that I’m not alone in this.

50 State landslide. It might happen.

But Hawaii is a tough state to win.

They made it extremely “uncool” to like Trump and go against the PC grain

Yet, I suspect many will vote for him secretly and not tell their supposedly PC friends (who will also vote for him secretly)

Trump is going to blow everyone away simply because folks believe him when he says he wants to put America first... Something any politician should do but clearly has not been the case for a long long time.

I know he is under polling in certain segments and will bring in blue collar and blue dog democratic votes as well. It won’t be a 1984 blowout but it’s going to be the biggest one since then.

My wife is very conservative in her beliefs but typically votes democratic because she’s a government/union employee. She is all about voting Donald Trump. I know of a couple other females in similar positions that are enthusiastically pro-Trump. he has tapped into something here.

I have anecdotal evidence too.

A sister who voted for Obama twice praises Trump.

A friend who is at best libertarian-liberal and never votes Republican is all in on Trump.

There is a movement afoot...

I've heard this theory before and it seems to hold water. Many people find it easier to avoid stating they are for Trump so they either say they haven't made up their mind or they go with somebody non-controversial like Ben Carson.

I'm guilty of this myself. In the workplace, I'm tight-lipped about my support for Trump. Don't need to get into arguments in the workplace. But I tell people I am comfortable with and in most cases, they feel the same way.

Dropp noted that many of Trump's supporters, especially those with college educations, are "less likely to say that they support him when they're talking to a live human"

Especially now that Leftists have their marching orders to shoot Trump supporters wherever they are found...

Live on the phone polling is NOT a good polling indicator anymore...

Typically you are getting older, more conservative voters who actually STILL have a landline...

Though I don't doubt the results in the article, I don't think it means much...

I think the amount of support Trump will get from the African American and Hispanic communities will blow the liberals away

I don’t do phone surveys of any kind.

But I am somewhat annoyed that educated people can be shamed into suppressing their opinions. But then look at what happened to Ms Puerto Rico.

Somehow we need to start shaming people who suppress free speech.

We know two women, who will probably be this way.

One is an escapee from Gay Frisco and liberal Marin married to a San Francisco retired doctor. She hates the Clintoons and was/is for Jebe. She may be another embarrassed by Trump and a silent voter.

The other is a modern Church Lady. She and her husband might say darn on a bad day. In spite of being life long Republican, she is saying she can’t support Trump because he is vulgar.

We know her sister, a more reality world woman, and she feels her sister and husband will vote for Trump and never admit it.

Because online polls are so accurate....
That being said, go Cruz!
I’ll vote for Trump over anyone else but Cruz. Not even a question in my mind.

Several are acknowledging this, particularly Sundance over at CTH.

Trump is social savvy....the young people are right there with him, he's on twitter (which I have) and he's on face book (I took mine down)...but he is good at social media...

“THE FORCE AWAKENS!!!”

Anyone that does not understand that poll are plain crap. Nothing scientific about them and they are bias according to the particular pollster.

Go Trump. Poll or no pole, he will restore America like no other candidate.

My son in law is 24 and started a new job in the fall. He’s now into politics and loves Trump. He was all cocky in early fall telling everyone he was voting for Trump, even bought one of the hats online.

Over the weekend he said to me sheepishly, “do you tell people you’re voting for Trump?”

He admitted that he can’t say it in work because the big mouths (liberals) have so openly mocked Trump in the lunch room or at office parties that he’d feel embarrassed to admit to co workers that he’s a Trump guy. He’s still voting for him and loves him. But privately.

Amazing the power of social influence.
