Is There a 'Secret Trump Vote' That Will Carry the President to Victory?
PJ Media ^ | 07/16/2020 | Rick Moran

Posted on 07/16/2020 6:43:14 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

A new Monmouth University poll out today shows Joe Biden comfortably ahead of Donald Trump by 53-40 in Pennsylvania. Biden has a 21 point lead among independents and leads in almost every age group, including those over 65.

But if you ask voters who they think is going to win the state of Pennsylvania, it’s a different story.

Most registered voters (54%) say they were surprised in 2016 when Trump ended up winning Pennsylvania’s electoral votes. They are evenly divided on whether they expect Trump (46%) or Biden (45%) to win the commonwealth this time around. One reason for this seems to be that most voters (57%) believe there are a number of so-called secret voters in their communities who support Trump but won’t tell anyone about it. Less than half that number (27%) believe there are secret voters for Biden. The suspicion that a secret Trump vote exists is slightly higher in swing counties (62%) and Clinton counties (61%) than in Trump counties (51%). The belief in a secret Biden vote is somewhat more prevalent in Trump counties (32%) than Clinton counties (23%) and swing counties (23%).

The poll isn’t misleading as much as one might believe. Trump might have Biden right where he wants him.

Comparing the current results to a Monmouth University Poll taken in August 2016, Biden’s likely voter position is similar to Clinton’s summer standing in the swing counties, where she led Trump by 50% to 40%. Interestingly, Trump is doing slightly better now in core Clinton counties than four years ago, when he was polling at 21% to 67% for Clinton. Biden, however, is currently stronger than Clinton was in the president’s base counties, where she was polling at 27% to 60% for Trump.

What place is this and when was this rally?

No clue. I did a search for rally images and picked the best pic.

Trump needs to make nationwide speeches on tv to combat all the negative press. Twitter is not enough.

The real secret is that Biden is a joke and people don’t want to vote for him. So, the polls are made up in order to make it look plausible when they cheat.


THAT is worth repeating...

Don’t get complacent. Don’t make any assumptions about a “secret Trump vote.

Exactly! Also, remember the Senate and we need to win back the House. While she is a RINO (at best) Susan Collins who sits on a Republican Senate seat is in the fight for her political life with money pouring in from out of state. To be safe, I would consider her seat a possible loss to the democrats in November and we need to assure a replacement pick up for the Senate.

The democrats are flooding her Facebook with “Bye Bye messages” and only a handful of them are from within Maine.

Biden wants to destroy the energy/coal industry and is supposed to win PA? Okaaay.

Ask Philadelphia suburbanites where their energy comes from. They won't have a clue. But they will say that the rich are causing global warming.

Say what you want about Susan Collins, but at the Kavanaugh hearings, she made a speech for the ages about the treatment he received, and why she would vote for his confirmation. I'd rather not have any RINOs in the Senate, but I can live with a couple if it means maintaining a majority, and keeping the Democrats from controlling the agenda.

"real secret is that Biden is a joke and people don’t want to vote for him. So, the polls are made up in order to make it look plausible when they cheat."

Add: because the Democrat party is a criminal enterprise(owned by Chyna CP) and needs to win to cover up/continue its massive corruption.

It’s apparent to me that those who supported Trump in 2016 will do so again and many others along with them.

In my area it was clear in 2016 Trump had the vote and it looks that way for 2020 as well....people are just beginning to put up their signs, flags etc. and because the media and polls called it so wrong before I think the public is going all in on making certain they “advertise” Trump this election season.

I have a second floor walled deck that holds Trump signs beautifully, can be seen at the four way stop......I like the idea of lights! Pondering now how I want to do just that!

Your sign sounds great! It surely will be fun putting it together etc!
