Trump voters are not liars. As a Democratic pollster and campaign strategist, I feel strange typing these words. But it is required to debunk the “shy Trump voter” myth.
The shy Trump voter theory proliferates in political circles these days. This theory suggests that polls are failing to measure President Trump’s true level of support in the 2020 election because some Trump voters tell pollsters they’ll vote for Joe Biden or that they are undecided when in fact they are Trump supporters. …
Proponents of this theory claim that some Trump voters are embarrassed to admit their support for Trump to a pollster. The average Trump supporter, sporting his red MAGA hat, might be surprised by this characterization. CONT.
