Polls may be underestimating Trump support

People have been paying attention to the race for months, whether about The Donald and his remarks, Hillary's emails and Benghazi, Bernie's socialist ideals, or Carson's childhood. This is yet another of your crappy excuses to undermine Trump's appeal while you tout the credentials of RINOs like Jeb! and Rubio, neither of whom have a chance at winning.


Anyways, even Don Lemon a few weeks ago admitted that there were a number of people he knew that didn't fit the "uneducated poor Whites" mold (that the media tries to claim Trump's supporter are) that are either supporting Trump, or at the very least agree with much of what he is saying. I know quite a few young people, and some PoC (including myself) that are supportive of him. He has reinvigorated this country politically, one way or another.

As much as I like to believe the OP, I am afraid I heard the same thing about Romney. Taking the polls as they are now is good enough for Trump. No need for the uncounted.

Most polls show how many people were included. Not only that, they break down the people into various groups based on age, gender, political party, education, race, religion, whether they are registered to vote, whether they plan to vote, etc.

Most polls are accurate within a range of +\- 4% or so as a margin of error. I'm sure Trumps numbers are reasonably accurate, what may not be are those candidates who poll under the margin of error for all we know Jeb might actually have 7% or 0%.
