Amazing, right? You don't think these same pollsters are the ones who got things so right prior to NOV 8th, do you? Read that the sampling only included 25% Republicans to acheive this earth shattering news flash. Any chance this blatantly biased 'false news' will only serve to further embarrass and delegitimization the MSM?

All these polls should state "of those polled". It is no secret that the polls are biased and pollsters can get any result they want by simply polling the audience that will produce it.
A good pollster is like a good accountant who, when asked what 2 + 2 equals, asks, "what do you want it to be".

Most of the major polls gave Trump almost no chance to win. It was something like a 98% to 2% probability HRC would win over Trump. That was the wisdom of the pollsters. They had her winning states she lost, by a lot. Were there a few that had it right? Yes, very few and they were getting zero attention in the media.
The science of polling has turned into a machine attempting to shape the public perception. If you tell people the polls say something long enough they start to believe it.

Capt Jeff S. - It is not a coincidence that all of the major media organizations (ABC, CNN, FOX, CBS, NBC etc.) now have polls they put out daily/weekly and ad hoc. Frankly, I think it is unseemly for the media organizations to do or participate in polling. Polling isn't news and it has proven to be wholly inaccurate in too many cases. Major media/news organizations should report the news. They do polling now so they can make their own polls the news. How is that for twisted?

She got 3,000,000 more votes than he did. The polls weren't wrong, they just didn't effectively take the electoral process into account.
