The pollster for the New York Times wrote that he believes the poll are underestimating Trump, just like they did in previous elections.

From what he can determine, white Democrats are 16% likelier to respond to polls than their white Republican counterparts.

Meaning Trump could be up even bigger than we realize:

If I had to guess the reason for the ‘nonresponsive bias’, it’s the distrust of media by Republicans. I know these are pollsters, but much of the time they are hired by media organizations and I just think people don’t trust them to tell the truth.

Heck, even last week we saw Nate Silver accuse pollsters of cheating to suggest the race is actually close:

Polling data expert Nate Silver slammed election forecasts showing a close race between presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump across several states. Silver accused many pollsters of “herding” to ensure their predictions aren’t too far off from other predictions.

“In fact, I kind of trust pollsters less, they all, every time a pollster [says] ‘Oh, every state is just +1, every single state’s a tie,’ No! You’re f—ing herding! You’re cheating! You’re cheating!” said Silver during a Friday episode of his weekly podcast, Risky Business with Nate Silver and Maria Konnikova.

Silver has maintained his prediction that Trump will overtake Harris, 55 percent and 45 percent respectively, to return to the White House.
