Cloud research poll

What CloudResearch Found

11.7% of Republicans say they would not report their true opinions about their preferred presidential candidate on telephone polls.

In contrast, just 5.4% of Democrats say they’d be reluctant to share their true voting intentions — roughly half the number of Republicans reluctant to tell the truth on phone polls.

10.5% of Independents fell into the “shy voter” category, just a percentage point lower than how Republicans react to phone polls.


Yeah, those polls with Biden way up are accurate this time.

Not surprising...

Additionally, most smart people aren't even talking to pollsters and they are also oversampling dims vs what the 2016 turnout actually showed.

It’s higher. The spin after 2020 is Americans won’t admit they are racist nation.

This is why people shouldn't let their peckers shrink whenever they hear Biden is winning in the polls.

I thought this was a BS narrative....why would you be afraid to answer a poll....it's anonymous! Then I got a text asking who I was voting for....I went to type A. for Trump and stopped.....wait who is this on the other end? Where does this info go? They have my number is it really anonymous? Showed my wife and she was like, "I would just ignore it".... I did. That number is AT LEAST what this poll is saying...if not more.

I think higher. Look at what they did to Ken Bone yesterday for voting independent.

The reason why the "who do you think will win" polls are the correct ones is people feel safe answering that question honestly. You can play it off as saying I'm not voting for Trump I just think he's going to win. People are more willing to "support Trump" when that question is asked.

Because they aren't asked for whom they'll vote?

Such diversity! Appreciate their efforts though - that’s like 10% extra MOE that’s going completely unaccounted for

Yeah, that 5.4% Democrat number is basically ANY Dem planning to vote Trump.

And of those numbers, only 45% were reportedly telling the truth about that.

I had a pollster call me for the first time in years last week.

I hung up on them.

In retrospect, I should have lied and had some fun.

So they did a poll to ask people if they lied on polls.

See the problem?
