How does this make you feel about the rest of the polling done? What would a 4-6 point miss mean?

Stays true to Trump always over performing polling by 5-7 pts.

It would mean that the polls still are underestimating the Trump /Republican vote as they have been for over a decade almost by the same % 6ish

That's why you shouldn't pay attention to polling

If all other polls underrepresented Trump's support by a minimum of 5.5%, we could be legitimately looking at an electoral map that looks similar to this:




And I'm not exaggerating.

Yes, it's funny how no MSM are talking about that and the fact the Abortion issue was on the ballot

yep as I suspected and Trump was even in the National GE polling.

Technically that means a popular vote landslide isn’t out of the question. If he was polling even then he could win popular vote by 5% with a fair electorate.

ETA but that doesn’t account for all the illegals that are allowed to vote in deep blue states but it could still be a Trump popular vote win by a couple points

The silent vote is huge. Talked to a client yesterday who has in the past voted for democrats since she was able. Shocked me that she stated that she voted for Trump this time. Said she can't stand him but knows he's the better option for running the country. There are millions more like her.

While promising for sure, these numbers aren’t results.

Correct, and CO and NJ could be too close to call or 52-48 votes.

Talk about a melt if they missed that bad.

I’m guessing some states will be like 2 or 3 point misses

GOP leads the turnout by 11.5 points.
But being the conservative that I am, I can't help but conclude that GOP voters is not the same as Trump votes.

There are a lot of Republicans who refuse to support President Trump.

After 2016 the fact that polling is still the biggest post generating topic baffles me.
99% of polling is sh!t. Always has been...always will be.

Poll populations always contain biases. They’ll never be extremely accurate
