If THIS data was wrong, what about the data that says Obozo is at his highest approval levels of his presidency - aren’t those the same pollsters?

Yeah... wouldn’t it be great if future ballots all had plebiscites rating the President too. We’d see numbers that would be easier to believe.

I think many of the pollsters were simply responding to a stark fact of life if one deals with liberal Democrats: if you don't tell them what they want to hear, they dump you and find someone who will.

This is a significant part of the Democrat's leverage over the MSM, members of which know that if you make a Democrat look bad, if you ask an awkward question or fail to properly promote and suck up to them, you will never get another interview with anyone important. It's very simple.

I don't think very many Republicans do that, and they should. I hope President Trump does.

Where's Matt Lauer these days?

They DID have that data. They just chose to ignore it. It was well known that a clear majority thought we were headed in the wrong direction. But, of course, it wasn't the "leaders" fault?!?

I think some of the same attitude of those being polled who did not care to admit to supporting Trump; i.e., there wasn't any upside to such an admission, also decided that there was no upside to denigrating Obama.

Cursory review of the electoral college map, shows that Hillary got only 50 electoral votes from states in the interior of the country. The vast majority of her support came from the bicoastal liberal enclaves — The Northeast and the Pacific Coast states.

The liberals who run the Democrat party live in these liberal enclaves, and are in a bubble; an echo chamber.

And the media who report on all of this are mostly in the New York/Washington axis, and just don’t get out much. They are within the liberal bubble as well.

I don’t like Michael Moore, but before the election, he was saying he thought Trump was going to win. And he mentioned his home state of Michigan as a pick up for Trump. Michigan was not considered in play at all by the liberals, or the media.

There was a lot the professional punditry and political operatives got wrong about this election.

Yeppers. Same propaganda.

Same sources.

Now, did “tey” know it, and were deliberately lying?
Or were they deliberately ignorant, and deliberately NOT educating themselves?
Or were they ignorantly ignorant, and didn’t know what they were doing because of confirmation bias and “everybody I talk to knows that” insider-Washington-NYC-LA bias?
