One of the few pollsters who accurately predicted that President Donald Trump would win the 2016 presidential election told Newsweek he feels "more confident every day" that Trump will also win his bid for re-election.
Key to Trump's path to victory are his "shy" supporters who aren't necessarily telling most pollsters the truth about who they will vote for because of societal pressures that have only grown in the last four years, according to Robert Cahaly, a pollster and senior strategist with the Atlanta-based polling company Trafalgar Group.

I’m a geezer too. But I’m disappointed in the gummers and fossils. And don’t even get me started on the old coots. I can suffer the old bags and old farts, but the codgers are downright annoying.
That was a myth, the old people are sticking with Trump.
Glad to hear it.
A Trump “rally” at the polls.
Because media is pushing ONLY number of testing positive and completely ignoring the plummeting mortality rate from covid-19.
If 20 million were tested for influenza during flu season, that number would be very high as well. And it is mostly old people who die from flu.
Point is testing positive asymptomatic is normal during season and more important number is how many are actually getting sick and much more important how many are recovering.
So it boils down to scaring the uninformed seniors. Majority of seniors are under-informed, sadly Fear mongering works with them!
Late last night as we were wrapping preparations for tonight’s webcast DecisionUSA2020online.com Richard Baris said his polling had flipped in PA and Trump was now up.
Said late deciders were 3:1 Trump
Maybe they only spoke to retired teachers and government workers. Who else can afford to retire?
The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing. — Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)
Not quite geezer material here on the sunny side of my 50’s, but it is beyond disappointing to me to see the way some old folks have reacted. Many of the very ones that claim Trump is not shutting the country down enough flock to TJ Maxx with a paper mask. And that is actually great because they are not getting infected at the grocery store or the hardware store or their local restaurant-—they are overwhelmingly getting infected in their homes or residential facilities. The disconnect is stunning.
Too bad there was so much early voting then!(I myself voted early, in person, in case today might turn out to be highly atypical of Election Day. Straight Republican, of course).
*squeals*
This is a myth: there WASN’T much early voting in PA. As states go, it is still largely “out there.” PA is like “absentees” more than VBM.
Well, anecdotally, there was hardly any other voters in sight when I voted early in person. I attributed that to my being an early bird, but who knows? I’m in a college town.
He voted Trump today
Rush floated the "shy Republican" is really a democrat who can't let it be known that he's voting for Trump
