Republican nominee Donald Trump and pundits continue to insist that most national polls don’t show the complete picture — they aren’t clear how millennials and U.S. citizens living overseas plan to vote in November.

Trump supporters believe the Republican nominee is not only expanding the Republican party, but bringing in millions of first-time voters who will tip the scales in his favor. Two groups — expatriates and millennials — could reverse the polling data.

Trump is winning in the polls with likely and registered voters, but most polls don’t include the millions of first-time voters.

Republican National Committee Sean Spicer weighed in as well, going on MSNBC in May to discuss the possibility that Trump could open up the traditional GOP base to include independents.

To be sure, Trump broke records with his primary turnout, and received a lot more votes than Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton did in her primary. Through the middle of May, Trump received over 4 million more primary votes than Hillary Clinton, sparking many Trump supporters to assert that the polls don't matter, because they don't really survey who will actually vote in November.
