Trump Campaign Manager: We’re Actually Winning Right Now, Because of ‘Undercover Trump Voters’
Source: Mediaite
Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told the UKs Channel 4 that Donald Trump is actually winning the election, but every poll is wrong because Trump voters are undercover.
Conway denied on the Channel 4 special President Trump: Can He Really Win? that Trump was losing and denounced the polls that showed him down to Hillary Clinton as cherry-picked polling numbers that are put out there by media outlets that are also bent on his destruction.
Donald Trump performs consistently better in online polling where a human being is not talking to another human being about what he or she may do in the election, she argued. Its because its become socially desirable, if youre a college educated person in the United States of America, to say that youre against Donald Trump.

(115,686 posts)What Conway is saying, in effect, is that Trump is so awful that some people are ashamed to admit publicly that they would vote for him, but despite his awfulness they'll actually do it - but not tell anybody.

When that is a direct quote from your own campaign manager, you are doing it wrong.

(182,799 posts)He explained yesterday that polls only survey LIKELY voters (which they don't) meaning people who are so outraged at the disaster that Obama has made MURKA that they are, for the first time, voting. He didn't mean young people he meant some never before know about mass of people who are coming out of the shadows to vote.

(942 posts)but the systematic errors in the Brexit polling shows that in a close vote, if there is social stigma in declaring against one side, and turnout assumptions turn out to be wrong, then the pollsters can miss the final result.

Brexit also had the disparity between online polling and telephone.
I would say, based on the Brexit example, if Clinton is ahead by 4% or more in the swing states, she will be fine. Less than that starts to get dicey.

(15,805 posts)They suck up to him, flatter his weak ego, and tell him what he wants to hear. They butter him up with platitudes and agree that he's the just the greatest, his ideas are the bestest, everyone loves him, he's sure to win with all these super duper secret Trump voters. Meanwhile they are all pulling out big paychecks and enjoying their lavish expense accounts, and boosting their resumes in the process.

I'm not seeing that. It is actually hard being a democrat in this country right now. The republicans are a mean bunch and make difficult for people to be open about being a democrat. I don't have a democrat crowd in real life, just online here. If I wanted to fit in and have friends and that's all I cared about, I would have called myself a republican a long time ago.
This shit is laughable... the garbage that keeps coming from the Trump campaign. They do better in online polls because of the tea party nutters that hit all the polls, multiple times over if they can get away with it.

(5,732 posts)we actually winning because we are losing. And if we slip further in the poles, we will win by an even bigger margin. Makes sense to me.
