A great synopsis of why the polls seem off:
While the media predicts the demise of Donald Trump’s campaign for the 795th time, there remains practically no real world evidence of support for Hillary Clinton. While Trump has twice as many Google hits, massive online support, a record setting 2.6 million individual donors, huge daily rally attendance, yard signs everywhere and strong strong book and merchandise sales – Clinton’s metrics are all abysmal.
Bill Mitchell joins Stefan Molyneux to discuss the only metric where Hillary Clinton seems to do well – mainstream polling – and how those results are just as fake as her smile and personality. Why did Donald Trump suggest that Hillary Clinton and he take a drug test before the next Presidential debate? What has an incredible accurate predictor in Professor Norpoth said about this upcoming Presidential election?

Just from my experience, I do not see any Hillary Clinton signs or bumper stickers around, but I see lots of Donald Trump signs and bumper stickers. I have also noticed local candidates are including Trump on their signs, implying to me that they see him as a benefit to be associated with, rather than a detriment to avoid.
I seem to sense this among Democrats, who seem to support Hillary timidly, as the only choice to avoid a Trump Presidency. Trump’s supporters, by contrast, seem as if they would support him no matter who he was running against.
My only concern is that we went through all this in 2012. We had a lot of very smart people showing us line by line how the weighting and methodology and what not were all askew. But then on election day Romney lost by pretty much what the polls said he would.
So why is this different than 2012? Why were the polls right then and not now?
My fear is that the truth is that the polls are rigged now just as they were in 2012 but they’re rigged to justify the rigged election.
Where I live, in the urban Twin Cities, I actually do see a few Clinton signs. The same homes often have BLM signs up.
I see no Trump sings, probably due to the fear of retribution. Keep in mind, I live in the core city. I see a fair number of American flags, however, and these houses are never the same ones that have a Clinton sign. I believe the American flag is flown by closet Trump supporters.
I live in the Soviet of Washington, and on my way to work in my heavily Democratic county, I count 4 big Trump/Pence signs and no Hillarys. I don’t post a sign or wear a Trump hat in public because I know my own temper, and I seek to avoid situations that could lead to entanglements with the civil or criminal courts. Having said that, I fly a large American flag prominently at my house, and in my mind the flag and The Don are synonymous in The Current Year.

Awesome. I just mounted my new Betsy Ross flag last evening!
13 stars.
Ya gotta do something. And it’s a rallying symbol for others like us.
I live in a VERY blue state, and I can only name 3 people on my FB feed who openly support Hillary (and aren’t just #NeverTrumpers). I actually saw my first Hillary sticker in the field the other day, made me laugh. I have seen MULTIPLE large, wooden Trump signs, not to even mention the little yard ones.
The rally comparison pictures are all you need to know in who the popular vote is. The rigged polls are just to preempt the cognitive dissonance when Crooked Clinton steals rigs the election. No one likes her. No one wants her.
