He is forming a 'broad' coalition.

If nothing else Palin will garner Trump the "wife beater" segment.... assuming he already does not own it.

DES MOINES, Iowa (The Borowitz Report)—An endorsement from former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is expected to widen Donald J. Trump’s already impressive lead among so-called “idiot voters,” an aide to the billionaire said on Tuesday.

While Trump was previously thought to have a lock on the idiot vote heading into the Iowa caucuses, a recent surge by Senator Ted Cruz, of Texas, has put the idiots back in play.

Cruz has worked tirelessly in recent weeks to tailor his message to undecided idiots, even revamping his stump speech to rid it of two-syllable words.

“That’s why Palin supporting Trump and not Cruz is such a win for us,” the Trump aide said. “She’s been out of politics for awhile, but she still has idiot cred.”

The aide said that no one should be surprised by the bond between Palin and Trump. “They’re both reality-show hosts,” he said. “And by lowering the bar in 2008, Palin singlehandedly made Trump’s candidacy possible.”

But even as the Trump campaign staffers celebrate the Palin endorsement, they recognize that they still have their work cut out for them to secure victory in Iowa. “Getting the idiots to support Trump is only half the battle,” the aide said. “Now we have to make sure that they make it to the caucuses without getting lost on the way.”

I think polls are meaningless for a variety of reasons.
When it comes right down to it.... The only poll that counts is the poll the voters complete on Election Day with their votes.

IMO, most polls are manipulated by posing questions to elicit a particular response just for the effect. Probably funded by campaign themselves to get you headlines. Then there is another faction like the silent majority, who are upset with polling/pollsters and would deliberately lie. I know I would. A large number people are truly undecided till they go to the polls and this is a faction that the pollsters want to but never will corral.
