Stan Greenberg was Bill Clinton's pollster and a good one at that. His comments to Canadian pollster Frank Graves are worth repeating.
Too many people, especially on the left, have a bizarrely elevated view of how voters make choices.
If you actually want to win, listen to Mr. Greenberg.

"It is absolutely right to emphasize the importance of respecting #voters, and try to understand them, rather than assuming that those who disagree with you are stupid or racist. But voters are not going to tell you how to #govern the country. It is not their job. Relying on their opinions to try to deduce what to do leads not only to incoherence, but to a negative loop."

Prioritize. We need you this year in #virginia, a healthier democracy.

America is divided in 4 parts:
340.1m total july24
95.4m Not eligible to #vote under 18 + others 28.1%
89.5m Eligible did not #vote 26.2%
77.3m TrumpVance 22.7%
75.0m #HarrisWalz 22.1%
2.9m other none of above 0.9%
Sources us census, UFelectionlab, FEC
All #projections from #polling should reflect the total pop as denominator or disclose who is disregarded

Republican hatred of Democrats and of separation of church and state has significantly damaged political polling because reactionary Americans are willing to lie about their opinions if they think it helps Trump.

This has been verified repeatedly regarding Trump's obvious lies about the size of his first inauguration attendance.
