Oh it's real. It's just a question of percentages. People either won't tell pollsters or lie to them to mess with them. If Trump wins bigly; I except the industry to implode.

I have a feeling there will be less polling companies by 2024 if Trump wins by this miracle margin of error.

The only saving grace is that they got the 2018 midterms right.

Why don’t Trump supporters just man the f**k up and be proud of who they support?

I'd say your typical shy Trump supporter is someone in a deep blue State like California, New York, Massachusetts, and I think there's a high % of them that might be African American, Hispanic (mainly Mexican or Puerto Rican), and Asian.

But they're not telling their neighbor/friend/coworker. They're talking to some anonymous call center worker who doesn't know or GAF about them and vice versa.

That's reasonable.
