The Polls Shift Toward Trump

You can call me Pollyannish, but I am beginning to believe I may have underestimated the silent Trump vote in my previous posts. This is why.

I mentioned the 2020 Cato Institute poll before, which discusses the high percentage of conservatives who are afraid to express their political views. Something I failed to consider was:

Nearly two‐​thirds of Latino Americans (65%) and White Americans (64%) and nearly half of African Americans (49%) have political views they are afraid to share.

Why would 65% of Latin voters and 49% of Black voters be afraid to express their political views, especially if 70-90% of them, respectively, are voting for Biden? Are they afraid of the bad orange man, or is a significant portion of these two minority groups part of the silent Trump vote? The answer may be the latter.

A Zogby poll from late August indicated 36% of Black voters approved of President Trump’s job performance, along with 37% of Hispanic voters.

The Rasmussen Tracking poll showed a surge in approval for the President by likely Black voters between October 19-23 of 21 points, from 25% to 46%.

Ditto a Zia poll, taken in Michigan and released October 20, which showed Trump getting the support of 46% of Black voters and almost 40% of Hispanics.

Is this support for Trump real? Lenard McKelvey, a.k.a. Charlamagne tha God, discussing Trump’s pursuit of black voters on CNN, said, “Trump is targeting young black males in promos and marketing. It works.” Even CNN personality and dyed-in-the-wool socialist Van Jones praised Trump for the good things he has done for the black community.

Getting 70% of the black vote would be a record low for the Democrats. Usually runs 85% plus.

I really believe this is the first time in a century that Americans, actually have an American, in his heart, as president!

I’m a little more upscale. Yes I still buy sliced bread. But I make my fried Spam and American cheese sandwiches with my panini maker!

I would say so!
I use my George Foreman grill, as seen on TV.

I would just ignore most polls. They’re not getting true random samples nor are most accounting for social desirability bias.

I have no signs, no bumper stickers, I strictly do not discuss politics or anything sensitive at work (like the fact that I’m a gun collector for example). I’m even registered as an Independent. I do projects for banks so all it would take would be quiet discrimination in hiring to cause me considerable hardship. I’m not about to tell any pollster I vote straight ticket Republican.

Starting today through next Monday we will be inundated with polls showing Biden way ahead in the battleground states and nationally. It's already begun. Yahoo, NBC, MSNBC and others have been reporting fake polls this morning. One has Biden ahead by 10 points nationally and comfortably ahead by as much as 12 points in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan.

It's a pathetic attempt to lower the turnout of Trump voters by the MSM.

You are underestimating the fraud.
