If Donald Trump listened to the experts, he would have stopped campaigning long ago. As recently as Oct. 23 an ABC/Washington Post poll showed Hillary Clinton leading by 12 points, and media were speculating how large Clinton’s blowout victory would be.

But Trump has not listened to predictions of his political demise and, on the contrary, has often called himself “Mr. Brexit.” Just as the movement calling for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union won an improbable, come from behind victory, so Trump says that, despite polls that count him out, he, too, will triumph.

Shy Voters

Trump’s hopes for a comeback win have long seemed to hang on his belief that the polls are not honest or accurate.
