...Trump supporters are at best only nominally tethered to the political process. According to those pollsters shrewd enough to ask, few have voted in a general election and fewer still have participated in nomination contests.
The election day toll of this dynamic is already evident in those surveys with respondent controls that screen out all previous non-voters or those who have self-identified as very like to vote this year.
In polls that measure sentiment simply of registered Republicans, Mr. Trump leads the field in most national and state surveys, like Quinnipiac University’s snapshot of Iowa last month. But in those surveys with stricter respondent screens, like those employed by the Des Moines Register, which weeded out respondents who had not previously caucused, Trump trails by double digits.

Don’t even have to read it.
Does this really believe that the thousands that show up at the Trump rallies are NOT going to go out and vote for him?
They really fear Trump.
The find a new hoop to jump through each week to show tha Trump can’t/won’t win the election.
What’s “Time”? Didn’t they used to be a magazine, or something?
I find this a little hard to believe but on the other hand I only know for certain among my own circle of family, friends, and colleagues, who do vote regularly and many of whom support Trump, and many of those are Republicans. It is hard to believe that the man who is many percentage points above the other candidates is losing by double digits. There is a disconnect somewhere.
Time is scared $hitle$$ that Trump will win otherwise they would have never wrote this.
Just like many of Trump’s supporters in the polls don’t even have to vote.
Yeah, Time has been right so many times in the past.
This article is not condescending.... nope... not at all.
Another “Trump supporters are morons, Trump supporters don’t know politics, Trump supporters won’t go vote......”
These ‘journalists’ so eager to please their masters they are manufacturing bullshit at a fevered pace even they don’t whole-heartedly believe. They can’t even sell their own schtick for cripes sake.
“Trump supporters are at best only nominally tethered to the political process.”
And Obama supporters (Where dat free phone and rent?) are political geniuses.
“few have voted in a general election and fewer still have participated in nomination contests. “
To me that says that Trump is energizing the people who normally don’t vote. This bodes well for Trump and ill for the Rats if Trump should get the nomination.
Translation: They KNOW Trump can and will win. They are living in denial. Denial is not a river in Egypt.
“The End is Near! (We hope!)”
Yep, How many times do we have to hear that Trump is finished and kaput? Watch the LSM have a Dewey-Truman moment this year when they call a critical race against Trump only to have him win it by a large margin.
You forgot the barf alert!
They are behind their time.
Total fear, panic, depression, angst.
HE CANT WIN I JUST SAID SO !!!
whistling past the graveyard.
