many of his supporters are not smart enough to understand the questions, and some others refuse to answer polls because they are ashamed of being Trump supporters.

To make matters worse for Dotard, he struggles to match his dismal approval ratings in H2H polls. Against Biden, he flat-out underperforms them, usually getting 38-39% from likely voters.

In 2018, Mango's approval rating in exit polls was 45%, a few percentage points higher than his rating on 538. As a consequence, the GOP received just under 45% of the popular vote. They got CRUSHED by the Democrats.

President Shithead needs to surpass that 42% figure (which has barely budged in 2.5 years) by 4-5% to have any shot of winning the electoral college, and even that's a longshot.

Unless there was an understanding that the numbers were being fudged? A reputable polling outfit is neutral in the manner of questioning, in establishing statistically viable sampling, and in compiling results.
