I saw a thread earlier saying how the polls are getting it wrong due to Trump voters being shy to express their true feelings.
However, is the the shy Trump supporter/voter a myth?
This is anecdotal but live in a blue state in a blue county and I see plenty of Trump supporters posting signs and support for Trump.
I am not quite sure if Trump supporters are really shy about their support. If anything, I see less hesitation about being a Trump supporter this year than in 2016.
Thoughts?
I can't believe the same people who block highways with big huge flags, do boat parades, wear hats, t-shirts are 'shy' about it.
I suspect it has more to do with the techniques used to gather the sample for the polls.
I suspect that the rural representation is not appropriate.

Obviously it’s real with the closeness.
I figured it was which is why I couldn’t call it ahead of time.
Most of my social media tends to be pro-trump and that’s due to algorithms so it was very effective at clouding the Biden support.

You can't believe there are shy Trump voters in POLLING, but some pollsters admit there are. Though that's not the only reason polls tend to underestimate Trump, it's among them.

The biggest issue that we ignore is algorithms showing us what we want to see.
Mine is mostly pro-trump. If I was a simpler person Id think there was almost no Biden support as I see almost literally zero there.
I agree with you 100%. Why is it we let Democrats spill their crap about Biden yet we dont do cruel,things because they are voting for him...but they won’t allow you the freedom to choose Trump
Trump is such a cruel, nasty person and a lousy President. I don’t talk about him to Right Wingers because they get their feelings hurt. But in my area, most are Trumpies, and those who don’t support him are afraid to speak out. I would have liked to have a Biden sign in my yard but am afraid of Trumpies damaging my home. They are a nasty bunch, just like Trump.
I suppose the 'shy Trump voter' exists in the wild, but it is probably rare.
There is nothing shy about Trump voters. They are/have been very vocal about how wonderful they think he is. The always say they don’t like his tweets, but like his policies. Yeah, sure ... I know they like his nastiness and belligerence.
