It is NOT a coincidence that the old TV series The Office chose Scranton for their location.
"Are you afraid to reveal how you feel about politics when you are at work? With your neighbors? Even your family? It can seem awfully risky to use your right to free speech. But in the voting booth, you can tell America exactly how you really feel."
Turnout is key.
Turnout can never be predicted by polls since people often tell pollsters they will turn out when they don’t do it.
This flaw is ridiculously easy for pollsters to discover.
All they need to do (in a state, for example) is ask voters whether they voted in the 2016 presidential election.
Then compare the polled turnout numbers to the actual turnout numbers.
You can bet the polled “turnout” is a lot higher than the actual turnout.
That’s definitely part of it. Hard to say how much though.
Some of Trump’s soft support has left him, especially white women, but it may only be temporary.
Still a lot of time to win them back before election day.
Liberals love to talk to pollsters. They’ll chat all day long. But conservatives have better things to do. We have homes to maintain, cars to fix, and guns to clean.
Side note to the ATF snoops: When I said “guns to clean” there, I was not referring to myself. I lost all my guns in a tragic boating accident. It was my own dumb fault for taking a styrofoam raft out on Lake Erie.
are you kidding? With the violence and personal attacks and leaks going on these days? You will not find me with my lawn festooned with political flags. I’m keeping my politics to myself and in the voting booth i’ll vote for trump. These fascists will paint a black stripe around my house and burn it down!
More than a million people requested tickets for Trump’s Tulsa rally.
There’s a poll for ya.
I won’t respond to polls because the leftists targets their enemies.
I agree with the premise.
The left uses them to influence wavering voters and the right doesn't reveal the true numbers.
I have not paid much attention to polls because the methodology is slanted.
Gee why would they be shy when the left is causing everyone to lose their jobs and be disgraced and attacked in public?
Ping.
I have received four calls from pollsters in the past week. Even though I would not vote for Sleepy Joe for any public office save dog catcher during a rabies epidemic, I say I will vote for Sleepy Joe because he would be better for the economy, race relations, international relations, etc., than “Orange Boy”. I fail to tell the pollsters that the only way I will not vote for Donald Trump is if one of the two of us are dead.

Shy?
How about not wanting your car or home to be vandalized - and not being attacked by violent “protesters” ?
In the 2020 climate even MORE than 2016 people are unwilling to answer to the affirmative about how they will vote.
A lot of these polls are conducted by phone. Do you think people are unaware that their numbers can be traced to addresses? They know full well, and can just imagine what fascist activist organization is calling them posing as a pollster.
Patriots need to finish the job that they started when they elected Trump president by sending deep-state, “Orange Man Bad” Democrats and RINOs in both federal and state governments home in November.
Patriots also need to tell new federal lawmakers to give PDJT new chances to nominate real Constitution-respecting patriots to the Supreme Court by impeaching and removing Constitution-ignoring activist justices starting with Gorsuch.
When it comes to pollsters on the phone, Trump supporters are the “Silent Man”. “Silent Woman” too.
Trump has a point about the polls:
Excerpt:
But some pollsters, especially the relatively few who conduct surveys in battleground states, are still grappling with the problems that plagued those polls four years ago. In fact, most pollsters believe that, on balance, state polls are overstating the scale of Biden’s advantage.That was precisely the problem in 2016: The national polls were largely accurate, to within the margin of error. But there were too few state polls, and many of those that were conducted failed to collect accurate data, especially from white voters without college degrees in key swing states.
And those issues haven’t been fixed.

Most likely. Most people won’t even answer their phone unless they know who it is.
Maybe.
