Yes you are mistaken.
I don't know how many times I have to repeat this.
I add 10% onto each poll because I know Trump supporters generally avoid pollsters because pollsters represent the hated media....
So the polls are very useful once you add 10% to Trump (or 5%, whatever you think the missing number is).
Plus you can compare a Reuters poll today to a Reuters poll from last month, and it is useful to see the change, because the change is useful regardless of how accurate the polling is.

I must have confused you with someone else. Sorry.
So you are weighting the results of other people's polls with an arbitrary 10% ?
This might surprise you, but you are not the center of anyone's world around here. No one is going to remember that you make some quirky manipulation of poll numbers, you need to state that every time you post a poll. You are not posting Rasmussen's numbers (for example) you are posting your interpretation of their numbers and if you don't make that clear upfront it is dishonest.
Likely, some pollsters may be already weighting their reports based upon the type of factors you cite, so you could be twisting the results far from reality.

Look at my original post, it says the actual poll numbers from RealClearPolitics.
"Generally, some pollsters"? I have no idea which pollsters you are referring to.
Trump is a leftist on trade. Trump = Bernie on trade.
He is also a leftist when it comes to running big budget deficits
You are correct. And what's funny, those of us who criticize Trump from a traditional conservative perspective are labeled as "leftists" by the trumpies.

So you arbitrarily add 10% in your own head?
LOL
And they say we've got Trump derangement syndrome.
Why even bother looking at polls if you're just going to just make up your own numbers? It's meaningless.
Either believe the polls, or don't.
