This article states what I have been seeing for quite a while. Many people who support Trump and plan to vote for him don't make their views public knowledge. Not all of Trump's supporters agree 100% with what he says, but are in agreement with him enough to cast their vote for him.

OMG, if anything it is visa versa. Any poll that has a candidate up by 15 or more percent is flawed in some ways. if we take what you say seriously the % supporting him would be as high as 50% and this just simply isn't the case. Answer the question that has been asked here several times: how many times have you been called by a reliable poster? And how many people using cell phones only ever get polled? Let me add, for anyone who really understands politics we know any poll or study is swayed by whomever is conducting it. Anyone who believes the study you are supporting is so biased toward their candidate they are not thinking clearly. I think the secret lies in the number of people and the type of people that either do not answer their phone or who do not have land lines. These are generally the more educated and/or younger voters. Again, I use the term generally. There are exceptions to all rules.
Considering that Trump's name is in the media 24/7, and people aren't paying attention to the race yet, I'd imagine that his poll numbers are OVERinflated.
the polls right now are rubbish anyway. they dont tell the real story, and wont until election day draws closer. we will know what trump has for support when the primary season hits for real though, good or bad for him.
I think Mr. Trump can continuously say stuff getting people's attention and get free media exposure until November 2016. Studies have shown that poll results are directly related to the amount of media exposure a candidate gets. So Mr. Trump would be tough to stop.
But for a brokered convention and the resulting nominee Jeb Bush.
People shouldn't be so ashamed to admit who they support.
My view is Polls really don't tell the true story.
You ask a small percentage of people who they want to vote for?
Doesn't reflect the view of the whole group/city/state/country.
Few poles actually show how many people were included in the poll...
