Many will lie to pollsters and friends/family about who they will vote for.

Say you are a Middle aged white suburban woman.
You don't like Trumps bigotry and, even though you disagree with her on some things, you like the idea of the first female potus.
But, ur married to a staunch Trump guy and most of your female friends are voting for him too.
I say that this is the type of person who says they will vote Trump but actually votes Hillary.

Say you are a middle aged white suburban male.
All of your social circle openly hates Hillary and loves Trump.
They often make sexist, racist type jokes or innuendos.
But you are uncomfortable with this kind of thing and you secretly think Trump is an idiot.
This is the type of person who says they will vote Trump but actually votes Hillary.

On the other hand........
Say you are a well educated college professor....male or female.
All of your contemporaries laugh at what a joke they think Trump is.
But, you secretly like some of his ideas on immigration and trade and you are tired of the Clintons.
This is the type of person who says they will vote Hillary but actually votes Trump.

Anybody else have any other scenarios in their real lives of this type thing???
