In October 2016 Mr. Trump’s electoral circumstances were new and unique but the way he was being treated by his own party and the press were not.
Dr. Matt Briggs (Ph.D. is statistics) and I have a great conversation about how the press treated Reagan in 1980 and how it may have affected polling before that election, then compare that to the press impact on potential Trump voters and polling in 2016.
