I visit this poll daily. But what bothers me is the second tab - Respondent's Predicted Winner

Today Hillary is at 51.1 and Trump is at 43.8, both out of the margin for error grey.

Does this mean the respondent for Trump is saying:

1) The system is rigged, but I will do my part and vote trump, or

2) Hillary has the better chance, but personally I will never vote for her.

what are your thoughts as to why someone would cast their vote for Trump under tab #1 - Election forecast and tab #2 - predicted winner -

Or do I have this confused?

I thought tab #1 is who will you vote for, and tab#2 is who will others vote for.

I am adding this from the webpage -

Each day, 1/7th of those who have agreed to participate (more than 400 per day) are invited to answer three predictive questions: What is the percent chance that...

(1) you will vote in the presidential election?

(2) if you were to vote, you will vote for Clinton, Trump, or someone else (percentages add to 100) and

(3) Clinton, Trump or someone else will win (percentages add to 100).

I think it shows the INCREDIBLE bias in the mainstream media.

Constantly telling us Hillary is leading, when she is trailing.

Constantly telling us that Trump is unqualified, and how Hillary is the most qualified person for President in history.

Constantly telling us that the entire world hates Trump and respects Hillary.

And yet when the L.A. Times asks people who they are going to vote for, they hate Hillary so much they intend to vote for who they perceive to be the loser.

Unless something dramatic happens to Trump before election day, or the DNC realizes Hillary is doomed and replace her with Biden/Fauxcahontas, (don’t laugh) Trump wins in a landslide.
