What needs to be revisited here is the fact that the main benefit of polls as I have mentioned before, is to measure trend, not to ascertain exact margins. The trend was heading Trump's direction and that was what folks should have noticed. Yet you continued to tout raw vote count polls on a national level and failed to take into account the burgeoning movement in Trump's direction. This was especially true with regard to state polls. At the same time, you only reviewed the final polls in other years and not the shifting in the polls.
Being the closest to the final results is what constitutes right. Being on the winning side is what constitutes right. You touted phony polls that had Clinton up 3, 5, 10, 12, points and they were as phony and wrong as could be. The tracking polls won, and your phony polls are now the disgrace of politics and you know it.
Here are some of the crappiest most fraudulent polls in history... (just a few weeks before the herding.) NBC had hillary at plus 14 at one point. ABC plus 12. AP plus 13. USA today 10 CBS 11 Monmouth 12. Why were they so wrong? Well we told you... some did not reveal their templates. Some were using fraudlently democrat rich templates.. D plus 7, D plus 10 and worse. By using such "funny" templates that allowed all sorts of false narratives about Trump, his chances and his supporters. They proved almost every one in almost ever branch of the media had poor critical thinking skills or were an idiots. But perhaps the best laugh was the last laugh. When the media turned on Nate Silver for only giving hillary a 72 percent chance of winning. Lets... review the middle of October....

Jem I have previously stated on more than one occasion whats most important in polls is who is ahead in most of them.23 of the 26 polls you posted had Hillary ahead and Hillary finished with more votes than Trump as the majority of polls showed she would.
tony... we did not believe your statements then and we do not believe them now. you are not really trying to pretend you were talking about the popular vote over the election winner... are you? Don't embarrass yourself now with that deceit. Just accept the fact as many of you leftist friends have... your polls were fraudulent. They used democrat rich templates. garbage in - garbage out.
If the polls had correctly showed how close it was, maybe Democrat turnout would have been higher? That, my friend is a special kind of schadenfreude.
