Tell your wife that I’ve been polled three times this election and answered that I’m voting for Hillary each time.
Before the conventions, I was getting polled regularly—sometimes multiple times a day.
Since the convention, I have only been pllled 2 times—the last time was last night. Only one questions-—Who am I voting for for President?
I believe that there is a quiet majority out there that will show up & vote for Trump. I often put up political signs, but with all the vandalism this year, I won’t do so. I live rural, but vandalism is vandalism. I don’t need loose livestock because someone cuts my fences.

I cannot tell you how the election will turn out - there is simultaneously too much information, and too much uncertainty.
However, your wife’s logic is faulty: if the people going to the rallies don’t answer polls, but they also vote, then this is a very large number of people who’s preference in the race is not being recorded on Trump’s side of the ledger. Therefore, according to her criteria, Trump SHOULD be doing better than the polls indicate (which is YOUR position).
Apologies to all lady FReepers who actually have their heads screwed on straight, but I have found that most women do not follow or practice logic. They react to most things on an emotional level. Again, MOST, but NOT ALL. Of course, I get myself in trouble by attributing this to X Chromosome poisoning, the effect of which is to severely constrain the logic function. :>)
Polling has been unbalanced. As many as 20% more
Democrats are being polled. That isn’t fair-—but since when has the media been fair?
Since about when Eisenhower was in office, IMO.

when it comes to wives it’s better to dicker than to argue.
Look up Bill Mitchell - he can explain it https://twitter.com/mitchellvii?lang=en
The poll demographics are weighted disproportionately to Dems and Women, also Independents are underrepresented. The LA Time/USC poll is different and shows Trump ahead.
