According to Rush this morning, Trumps numbers are lower then what they actually are.

They do those studies that ask people over the phone compared to on the street. People on the street are much more likely to lie than in the privacy of there home.

They claim his support is much close to 50%

Wide Gut, I think you make a really interesting and good point.

For my example with this to add to your point, I am going to use the redefinition of marriage.

Right now the polls show that the percentage of Americans that support redefining marriage is well into the 50's. However, prior to Obergefell v. Hodges marriage redefinition was defeated most of the time it came up on the ballot despite polls showing that people in some states would choose to redefine marriage.

I remember speaking to someone from the American Family Association about it a while back. He said that when you're in that booth, it's you and God. You don't have the public to answer to. Thus, support for redefining marriage suddenly declines in the voting booth.

Slovenia would be a good example of that recently. Their citizens just voted by a count of almost 2 to 1 to keep the definition of marriage as between a man and a woman. This is a country that has had so-called discrimination protections for almost 20 years and even has "partnership" recognition and step-child adoption.

Here's the even bigger knocker, a poll in February showed that 59% of Slovenians supported redefining marriage just like in the United States. Other polls showed support coming into the 50's on this topic.

We have become such a politically correct society that some people are afraid of showing their support for Trump in public (especially in very liberal areas) for fear of being branded a racist or xenophobe by liberals. If someone feels in their heart that defining marriage between a man and a woman is the right thing to do, they might answer the poll differently in public out of fear of being labeled a bigot or a homophobe.

It's terrible what our society has come to under control of the left. Be it under the "tolerant" liberals or their buddies, the Republican establishment that has no spine.

I have participated in a poll, Trump is yet to be in my top three in that poll, for what it's worth. My top candidate is Cruz partially because of some of his similarities to Trump, but the addition with him is that he really makes a much stronger push to engage the Church. However, Trump will have no issues winning my vote if he wins the primary due to Hillary or Bernie being on the opposing side. Trump's rallies are drawing people to no end. I mean, this is someone who drew a crowd of 25,000 wanting to see him in Vermont. So it wouldn't surprise me if support for him was higher than many people think, and some were keeping the decision to themselves to avoid being labeled by the left.
