I have Trump-deranged cat lady leftist relatives. I avoid discussing politics with them. If pollsters call me (and I do get a lot of calls) I either hang-up, or I lie. Conservatives are under coordinated assault everywhere - of course media, but even corporations, schools, sports - leftist/statist slogans are everywhere, so everyday people just keep their heads down and get on with their lives.
The shy Trump supporter is a very real thing
I think you just discovered the elephant in the room, FRiend.
The poll I’d really like to see would have just one question, and be addressed to self-described conservatives only:
Q: How often do you answer political polls:
1.) Always
2.) Most of the time
3.) Some of the time
4.) Rarely
5.) Never
I bet 5.) would win by a landslide. Not only is the polling process corrupted by leftism, but even an honest poll is an imposition on my time and attention, with nothing offered in return.
Not even some fast-food coupons ...
