I don’t believe that the polls are being fabricated.
The trends among the liberals are to stop Trump from being the nominee rather than encouraging it.
I think the poll deficit is because of typical Republican voters who say they’ll sit out if Trump is the nominee.

That could certainly be part of it. I know some of those folks, and they are pretty adamant about that. They won’t vote for Trump. When I asked if they would vote Trump if Cruz was his VP, they changed their tune quite a bit. They didn’t say they would, but they were open to the idea. I think a lot of them could be won over if that turns out to be the ticket.
If you really think that, then how can you expect Trump to win?
If Republican voters sit out, who will he get?
Hillary has her built in base ...people that will vote for her if she is in prison.
Trump has his built-in base of true believers who actually think Trump is for the little guy in America.
They think that even though everything in his life and history has shown that he despises little people and has nothing but contempt for them.
That Trump base is stagnant. Worshipful but stagnant.
There is no scenario under which it will grow.
