Donald Trump's poll numbers: Legit? - Business Insider
Quote:
But don't expect a Trump logo on the White House anytime soon. Trump's relatively strong numbers are misleading, pollsters say, and most likely very temporary.
Princeton University polling expert Sam Wang said Trump's high name recognition, as well as a crowded GOP field — 14 candidates deep at this point, with two more set to join this month — is giving Trump the appearance of strength.
"I would not construe Trump's support as indicating that he is serious," Wang told Business Insider.
University of Michigan polling expert and political science professor Michael Traugott agreed, adding that Trump was coasting off of his name recognition. He said Trump would most likely sink as primary voters become more familiar with other candidates.
"The poll results with regard to candidate standing are ephemeral at this stage, primarily a function of name recognition," Traugott said. "Trump has greater name recognition than many of the others, especially the governors. But name recognition is not the same as support."
