There are no shy Trump voters, says pollster
Marist poll director Lee Miringoff on Friday dismissed the idea that there were silent supporters of President Trump in the 2016 presidential election.
"If you were listening on the phones to real people, the shy Trump voter may not have existed. They're not a shy group," Miringoff told Hill.TV's Joe Concha on "What America's Thinking."
Miringoff was responding to Morning Consult reporter Cameron Easley, who said people were more likely to admit that they supported Trump in an online poll.
"Morning Consult was one of the first polling outlets to recognize how real Trump support was. And another thing getting into live caller polls versus online polls is that we actually found something, it's called social desirability bias," Easley said.
"Where someone was far more likely to admit in an online poll that they supported President Trump over one of the Republican contenders," he continued.
