Lincoln Project Republican says polls undercount Trump support

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.

(45,806 posts)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.

(56,828 posts)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.
