For those who comment on polling but don't actually know what the Hell they are talking about...
It's a consensus that Trump leads with new and non-registered voters by a fairly large margin, including nearly 20 points in @premisedata and many others.
USAToday just published a series of articles on this via @davidpaleologos. If polls do not screen out non-registered and unlikely pops, among which Trump leads by roughly 20 points, and have a relatively small randomized sample, a Trump +10 is not unexpected, not a conspiracy.

A few things people who misread the electorate never understood, and why things they thought would hurt Trump have actually made him stronger.
1. Regime Credibility
This isn't the 1980s. GE voters do not trust his enemies. FBI, DOJ, etc. are deeply corrupt and voters know it.
Once upon a time, federal prosecutors had credibility and their accusations in indictments were trusted. But nobody trusts them anymore, with good reason.
It's been bad for years, but bad actors like @Comey, @petestrzok, Weismann, etc, totally killed all faith in the feds.
@Comey @petestrzok Now on to the primary.
2. GOP Voters Were Not "Ready to Move on from Trump"
Even at DeSantis' high water mark, the data never suggested a big enough lane existed to derail Trump. Nobody ever dominated the wine track (educated) enough to counter Trump dominating the beer track.
Post Script: The scumbag who did that owes us thousands of dollars and is the reason we @BIGDATAPOLL now have a pay first policy.
He's basically a former cop pretending to be a political strategist who folds up shop with each billing cycle, because the law makes it hard to chase… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Laura, when they first pulled that libel, attempted to publish his deadbeat account for all to see, but @elonmusk and his fake crusade against speech suppression kept suppressing it.
In fact, she tried again tonight and it refused to publish, again.
The DeSantis strategy 'he's the anti-lockdown champion' isn't working for a few reasons, the biggest being 1) voters aren't stupid and 2) it's not true.
Point being, politics are politics, and that's the nature of the game. But why are these angles not working for DeSantis AND, moreover, why are they dug in like ticks pretending nothing is wrong?
They attack everyone, and conduct ZERO introspection. It's rather pathetic.
We have seen (unsurprisingly) a major difference in support by "mode" of collection. Trump always does worse in live interviews (mid-high 40s) and DeSantis does the best (low-mid 30s).
It means DeSantis has now fallen into the 20s even among live interviews, and if the online and SMS were to even remain the same, he'd fall to about 15% or lower.
It's ugly, folks. Ugly.
Also important to explain those are just "raw" unweighted results we are importing from live interviews. Among those 157 interviews, this is their education, which is clearly very, VERY, educated for a GOP primary.
For the lazy who reply to tweets without having the intellect or attention span to read the article outlining an argument in great detail, let's walk you through what you missed.
