Republican and independent voters are twice as likely to not reveal their true preference for president in a telephone poll, a study found. CloudResearch, an online market research and data collection company, found that 11.7% of Republicans and 10.5% of independents said they wouldn't share their true opinion, while only 5.4% of Democrats said the same. "That raises the possibility that polls understate support for President Donald Trump," Bloomberg reported Friday.

SHY? I won't wear anything Trump, EVEN THOUGH I WILL enthusiastically vote for him, is because they feel free to harm me. As much as the left dislikes Trump we disliked Obama and still do. Yet I do not remember repubs spitting on their food or beating up anyone with a Obama hat or shouting Obama supporters out of restaurants. I also do not EVER remember conservative college students violently shouting down liberal speakers off campus. All I read about is liberals shouting conservative speakers off campus (claiming ANY speech they do not agree with as hate speech). I also do not see repubs tearing apart booths re abortion of the leftists. Leftists destroy pro-life booths by tearing apart their personal property. No repub can have a conservative view without the dems destroying it. Repubs do not do that to dems.

Who wants to talk to pollsters that have gotten it so wrong, for so long? Only deranged democrats!
Who wants to talk to anyone in the media, when they twist facts and report fake news? Deranged democrats!
We will do our ''talking'' at the voting booth!

That's why I check caller id before answering and use nomorobo to catch most garbage calls.

Those covert Trump supporters who are going to vote for Trump in the General Election are not shy, they are smart. After all, who wants a gang of lawless BLM rioters doing their thing at their business or residence.

Talk about naivete… I am not shy and I have never been called. Ever…
With what has been going on, displaying Trump loyalty can be a dicey proposition. That is probably what the protesters - solo and in masses - are trying to achieve. Suppression. Won’t work.

Let's be clear: there is NOTHING liberal about today's Democrat Party. It has become the party of stone cold Fascists. Fascists, ever since Mussolini mobilized his Black Shirt thugs to attack his opponents and cow the population into obedience, have relied on physical and societal violence to achieve their goal of absolute power over the sheeple. Our main two political parties ought to be renamed the Democratic Socialists and the Democratic Republicans. We want a democratic republic and they want socialism (democratic only if they do the vote counting).

Not shy, have been wearing my Trump 202 red ball cap every Friday for dinner with shooting buddies, and sometimes other times, too. Never a bad response.

It has nothing to do with being shy. It has all to do with not wanting to get my car damaged, any property damaged, or any other violent action perpetrated against my wife or myself. The Left has shown themselves to be nothing but racist thugs. I do not own a weapon and I am too old to get involved in a physical situation. So, I will vote for Trump, which is where it counts.

You won't find a republican / Trump sticker on my vehicle. Why? Because I don't want it keyed, dented or have the tires slashed.

They need another study to try to prove the obvious. I ignore at least 20 phone calls a day not because I'm shy but because my time is too important to spend it talking to fools. Yes, there will be a landslide and yes, many will be shocked. Nobody is shy in the voting booth.

I suspect thes "shy voters" are the new silent majority. The dems vision is so blurred they can't see it.
