I must say that I can't help myself though and they make me a little nervous.

Responses:

They accidentally put out some cross tabs for the first time, and were quickly exposed as nonsense - Reagen Oct 27, 09:28 2
- The logical part of me understands, but the nervous nelly part of me won't completely accept it. -- nm - Dano Oct 27, 10:03 1
  - Like, the consequences are apocalyptic. I get it. -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 10:27
I think there is some substance to the "shy Trump voter phenomenon," but not to the extent Trafalgar or Rasmussen rely on it. - aRCynic (and Old Lace) Oct 27, 09:23 11
- ~ shy Ronnie, go vote ~ -- nm - Rihanna Oct 27, 09:34
- But like, shy Trump voters in... Kansas? Texas? - Reagen Oct 27, 09:27 5
  - I'm using some family members as an unfounded, irresponsible statistical model. - aRCynic (and Old Lace) Oct 27, 09:32 2
    - People said the same things in 2018 about polls - other than Florida, Dems outran the polling. -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 09:34 1
      - Well, yeah. I'm not part of the "polls are flawed and worthless crowd," but I trust the Pew Research Center's findings. - aRCynic (and Old Lace) Oct 27, 09:41
  - We're always talking about what shrinking violets these MAGA-heads are. - David, Horny New Guy Oct 27, 09:28 1
    - They aren't, but I bet there are a bunch of $150K/year manager types who live in suburbs where they would rather not be open about their votes. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 27, 10:12
- I'd argue that in red states the dampening may go the other way. -- nm - pmb Oct 27, 09:25 3
  - I could see that. I just haven't been able to find any actual objective studies or analyses that provide a solid conclusion either way. - aRCynic (and Old Lace) Oct 27, 09:28 2
    - It feels like the media bias argument rehashed. -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 09:33 1
      - That's a good comparison. - aRCynic (and Old Lace) Oct 27, 09:38
Even with the Republican slant, the wild swings in the Rasmussen polls just can't be explained. - Inigo Oct 27, 09:20 1
- And their explanations are like when people try to explain stock market movement. -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 09:23
