Baris reports honestly what people tell him. He does not attempt to forecast. He strongly suspects based on a number of factors that some of the people he asks are lying and instead of voting for Biden are actually voting for Trump.
BUT as he has emphasized over and over again, he is only reporting what he was actually told.
In other words, the Trump vote is certainly higher than what he is reporting as he himself says.

In other words, it’s like I said earlier. He acknowledges likely ‘shy Trump’ voters and people misleading pollsters on purpose, but he doesn’t try to gauge those numbers or include them in his results.
It is not the pollsters fault if Democrats decide not to show up tomorrow because they are afraid of coronavirus..
But—it is his fault that he was not smart enough to ask the question...
Not that most people would have told him the truth...
