You are part of the reverse bradley effect, that is clearly evident with Trump. With phone polling Trump always is 2-3% lower than he does with online polling...

Trump easily has a few points higher support than polls are catching... and if you move into certain places, like NY and other traditionally Blue states the reverse bradley effect is even greater.

For the record, I am absolutely 110% hard core supporting Trump.

I don’t want to sound like a concern troll but...didn’t we say this to ourselves over and over in 2012? We kept telling ourselves the polls were skewed and biased then Election Night 2012 they may have been a little biased but in the end Obama unfortunately won.

I have no doubt Trump is leading in this particular poll and it actually seems to be one of the more scientific, unbiased polls. However there are quite a number of other polls both national and state by state that show Hillary ahead. I guess my point is that I’m already starting to see the same denial(s) about the polls now that I saw so much of in 2012.

Now the good news is that 1.) Trump has and will fight unlike most any other gop-e would’ve as witnessed in the most recent attempted scandal of the Muslim soldier’s father. I trust Trump’s instincts and game plan unlike again most gop-e candidates in years past. 2.) Unlike past years there should be enough time since the conventions were so early this year to plan/correct/adjust to the dems and their media allies. 3.) Also don’t forget the Wikileaks scandal.

So I’m not saying we should feel depressed but I just don’t want to repeat the same mistakes from 2008 and especially 2012 when we acted believing the country wouldn’t re-elect Obama. It’s obvious they did and by extension would elect Hillary so we have to accept that reality and not assume the country wouldn’t vote for her just because and plan accordingly so that she isn’t really elected.
