Trump supporters want people to know they support Trump and they know his poll numbers are important to him -- very important -- they are proud to let us all know.
Exactly. Anybody who says Trump supporters would lie to pollsters is basically saying they're ashamed of supporting Trump ... which, even if true, tells you they aren't very reliable Trump supporters. The whole "Trump supporters lie to pollsters" thing is basically an excuse Trump supporters made up to try to convince themselves Trump is more popular than what the polls say.
Aaaw, now the pollsters are being rude to people they assume are Trump supporters; aaaaw, that's such a shame.
No it doesn't make a difference who they are polling.
They phrase the question in an anti-Trump way when they ask EVERYONE, not just Trump supporters.
They just can't help it, just like the news anchors, they can't help trashing Trump.
Trump owns the MSM for life, and their pollsters, he's always going to be in their head.
And most of the pollsters are anti-Trump, because look at the polls on Real Clear Politics, most of them are left-leaning organizations.
Not that it matters, because Trump-supporters ignore pollsters, period.
Pollsters are very rude, often phrasing their question in a patronizing anti-Trump way, and no Trump-supporter wants to hear that.
They have that negative experience and then tell their friends and family, and they all avoid pollsters thereafter.
But of course. The Trump way--blame others. Make excuses.
Now Trump supporters are being victimized by pollsters? Sure.
His approval rating among those that matter, the people who voted for him, is probably around 85%, so no one need care what the assorted deviants, crazies and others that make up the Democrat's base think about anything. Democrats keep launching fake news bombardments and extremely low life stuff like they did on Kavenaugh, they will lose a lot more votes than they did in 2016 for that sort of scumbaggery.

Gallup, Rasmussen, Pew and all the other major polling organizations have no ideological bent. They are just interested in discerning the public's opinions on various matters, and have been doing non-partisan polls for decades. You're only calling them biased because they aren't showing approval ratings of Trump as high as you think they should be. It is you who is biased, not the pollsters.
I didn't realize fivethirtyeight.com was still taken seriously, since they gave Hillary a 71.4% chance of winning the presidency- https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com...tion-forecast/
And let me remind you they were predicting the outcome of the election, not merely the popular vote.
They predicted Hillary would win 302, and Trump would win 235.
Losers.

It doesn't make a difference who they are, because Trump supporters don't answer pollsters.
Nobody knows who the pollsters are working for, so it makes no difference, they'll be ignored no matter who they are.
They walk up to you in the street, you walk away, they call you on the phone and you hang up before they can say 5 words.
But certainly the left-leaning organizations are to blame for putting people off initially.
