...is that, if it were true, state polls would show Trump running way behind Republicans in other races, such as Congress and the Governorship. That isn’t happening — if anything, he’s running a bit ahead of his co-conspirators.

Tue Nov 3, 2020, 04:46 PM

they are never quite accurate. The question is which way are they wrong, and by how much.

2016's systematic miss was a highly unusual modelling miss - one that has been corrected.

You would need another widespread, undetected change in voting/turnout patterns to have a repeat miss of the same size and direction

Possible but very unlikely.

If anything a miss the other direction is more likely, as pollsters by their own admission are often fighting the last war.

In the meantime, consider how one decides what is a legitimate concern, & what isn't.
There is no way to tell whether this OP is a legitimate concern.
The math suggests that what the OP says, couldn't actually occur.
And, how would this conspiracy to lie to pollsters would be effective, nationwide, with nobody finding out?
So, given that, is the OP a legitimate concern?

Trump people say they are patriots and are religious, and they believe what they hear on Fox Noise is actually true.

So what you hear from Trump people can hardly be considered "reliable," especially when it has anything to do about the election. If a Trump person screams he is against abortion, you can bet there is an even chance he talked his mistress into getting one last week. Don't let what they tell you make you in the slightest nervous.
