Please answer "yes" or "no" and list any polls that you DO trust.

Thanks!

They can't answer until they see the poll result. If its good for Trump, they are all about it. If its bad for Trump, its fake.

Republicans are a silent majority in America. That is why no polls can really be trusted to indicate the mood of the nation.

However, I think that Rasmussen is more accurate than Gallup.

I trust no polls or corrupt journalists. Anything commercial has a hidden agenda. I look for what people are saying on these forums, I socialize with family & friends to understand what people like me think about an issue. I give it some thought, talk to people with opposing views & do my own analysis. I don't need an 'expert' polling 10 people & telling me what rest of the nation is thinking based on their poor analysis. Failed spectacularly in last elections so they have zero credibility.

Sounds reasonable.

Could you suggest some journalists who aren't corrupt?

Thanks.

The Presidency, the Senate, the House of Representatives, the Supreme Court, the state Governors, the state legislatures... are all Republican majority.

This means that a lot of people out there don't discuss politics, take part in protests or answer polls. But when they go to the voting booth, they quietly pick the "R" option. That's what's called a silent majority.

Voting is essentially responding to a poll.
