Trump’s theory is that the polls don’t accurately describe his level of support, because many of his voters are reluctant to be associated with him. Is he right?
Two observations are pertinent. First, if you’re embarrassed to vote for someone, you probably shouldn’t. Second, the Trump voters I know are militant in their support; they fly flags and plaster their pickup trucks with bumper stickers. They’re about as far from shy as you can get. It’s the Biden voters who are shy, at least in public.
Like most of what he says and apparently believes, I think this is a delusion. We’ll see.
