Snip

One of the GOP founders of the anti-Trump group The Lincoln Project said Wednesday that polls undercount the level of support that exists for President Trump.

“It is historically difficult to defeat an incumbent president, No. 1,” Steve Schmidt, a former adviser to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), told Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC. “I suspect there is at least a point or two of undercount for Trump voters.”

1. And we can guarantee they will cheat.

4. This is a given!

2. I believe him. Racists don't like to admit to liking other racists.

It'll be closer than we think at this time.

3. If we can vote, and our votes are counted, we win.

5. Going for the steal . . .

6. It was true in 2016, no reason to assume differently now.

And the voter suppression will be much worse this time.

13. The diff. this time is that those who didn't vote because they didn't like Hill or didn't think it

mattered will vote this time! A whole lot of folks learned their lesson well. The absolute shock when they found out who won has haunted them ever since. I BELIEVE THEY will make the difference this time. There are still a lot of DT supporters but there are a lot more who used to support him and don't anymore.

9. Yeah

I admit the thought concerns me.

[TreasonousBastard]

10. Yeah, I can see that. There are people who just don't want to admit they support Trump.

11. Final polls missed Hillary's margin by a point or two

[Beartracks]

12. ALWAYS fight like we're behind. AND like we'll be cheated against. n/t

17. This

14. I generally agree

Trump support may be undercounted in SOME areas. Not all, but in some.

Democratic support may be overestimed in some places as well - Asian & Hispanic Americans typically don't vote at the same percentage (under 60% of registered vote) as African Americans or white voters (over 80% registered vote) So, until I see Biden up by 4-5% or more consistently in Florida, Texas and Arizona, I've got my fingers crossed.

15. Don't see it

And who would these voters be anyway? Trump voters seem loud and proud to me. Maybe in 2016, they hid it, but not these days.

16. No reason to believe this is not true

* Same candidate
* Same messaging
* Same pollsters
* Only 4 years removed
* Same electorate, with minor variance

18. Even if a poll shows us ahead, remember: It's an UPHILL race, so don't let off the gas! n/t
