One thing is for certain, I'm never believing the polls again.

Jesus Christ, these people had FOUR years to rectify the mistakes they made in 2016 and they STILL got it this wrong? What the fuck is the matter with them?

1. Technology and social changes may have rendered accurate polling

relatively impossible.

[AirmensMom]

2. Hillary used the wrong container description

when she said "basket of deplorables." It's much bigger than a basket.

3. Hang in... we have a long way to go!

This has a long way to go... the early votes have NOT been counted in the Midwest. That is because of the Refucks.

[Thekaspervote]

4. We have to go back to Howard Dean's 50 state strategy and forget the rest!

[joshcryer]

18. I completely agree with this.

We need a purple candidate.

5. Which polls were wrong?

Once again, it seems that people are more incapable of understanding polls rather than them having some huge failing.

Florida, Georgia, Texas, North Carolina, etc. were all basically toss-ups. It's not surprising if we lose them by a couple of points. That's what the polls and their margins of error allowed for.

9. Every damn one breaks for the Republicans

Someone might be suspicious about that.

10. Voter suppression/depression/intimidation can have that effect.

15. +1. It's just too difficult to constantly pull an 'inside straight'

like Trump seems to be doing.

11. well look at SC for example

had it tied and Graham is winning by almost double digits.

Had it tied in GA and up in FL and those were off. Tied or off one in Texas.

They weren't amazingly off, but there's a clear steady pro dem lean in the polling that underestimated Trump by a few percentage points almost across the board...certainly in the South.

[SkyDaddy7]

14. True...

And people only look at the polls that they like when others might be telling a different story.

[Alliepoo]

6. I think I'm with you on this-

I don’t think I’ll ever believe any polls again, either.

[Windy City Charlie]

7. Problem is

Problem is is that many of the electorate don't take the polling seriously. Therefore, they don't answer them truthfully.

[at140]

8. Problem is not pollsters, Trump voters are ashamed to admit

to the pollster of their preference.

[DrToast]

12. National results look like they'll have a normal polling error

Biden looks headed for a 5-6% popular vote win. The 538 average was 8%. A 2-3% error is not that big.

State polls, especially FL, may be a different story.

[qazplm135]

13. yes but two in a row

where Trump outperformed by that 2-3 percent.

[Raine]

16. I'm done with them! 🤬 nt

[Skid Rogue]

17. HACK!!!!

[tinrobot]

19. The polls don't matter when it is stolen.

[Totally Tunsie]

20. That was my 2016 lesson,

and why I refused to get over-excited about any numbers leading up to today. My attitude has been that today is the poll that counts, not any others. It helps a little.
