I remember watching the LA Times Daybreak Poll and IBD Poll like a hawk here on Free Republic.
Looks like Sarah was watching them too.

Pollsters from coast to coast were dead wrong about how the presidential election was going to shake out – with the exception of very few.
Most polls showed Hillary Clinton up bigly over Donald Trump, which was pretty much the left’s way of discouraging Republicans from showing up.
Almost a suppression of the vote, if you will.
Didn’t work out so well.
Who knew the polls were a complete joke from the start?
That would be 2008 VP candidate and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

I don't think I have ever posted from the Website "Young Conservatives" Before.
I couldn't find any do's or do not's for them here on Free Republic.
If I didn't Excerpt Correctly (or wasn't suppose to at all) please tell me and I will have it fixed.

Just about the only other one was Wayne Allyn Root.
Sarah should get the Interior Department.
A lot of people should be looking at the LA times tracking poll model. It worked better than everyone else’s.
That doesn’t mean they will be correct next time. I wouldn’t be surprised if they ‘predict’ a dem victory next time in order to attract attention.
A LOT of great people were vindicated on November 9th.
Thank You, LORD!
I thought so too. It makes me wanna puke but I admit it was close. The LAT was affiliated with another pollster so it was NOT entirely them who did the polling. The rest like the alphabet and even Natalie Silver, were all bogus nonsense.
This is true, and why you should never expect them to be "fixed." Their purpose is not to accurately gauge voter sentiment, it is to make republicans less enthusiastic about voting, and democrats more enthusiastic. The only thing "broken" about this year's polls is that they failed to have the effect of discouraging Trump voters.
Maybe. But for me, it got me fired up! Hillary might have won, but I wanted it known she had to get past me first! I had something to lose but everything to gain.
That waif Silver’s record is crap:
He got these wrong:
Trump gets the nomination.
Brexit.
Cubs win the World Series.
Trump elected president.
Time for him to get a real job, I think.
Sarah said that polls are only good for strippers and cross-country skiers. A very practical perspective which reveals how polls in the hands of one might be for sleazy purposes while in another, for sport. Those who put out polls that lied about Trump’s favorably were the sleazy pollsters.
We witnessed a MIRACLE. Thanks be to God, who answered to the prayers and fasting to defeat the demonic fog over our country.
Our people got the USA a reprieve for a time. What will we do with it is the question?
I agree it was a miracle.
Another miracle happened tonight. My little sister, a liberal for many years, called me up and has replaced Che Guevara as her hero with Julian Assange.
And then we PRAYED together, for Donald Trump and his Family.
And for America.
I am in shock.
Anyone that attended a rally knew the outcome.
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
Parent companies include: Disney, Comcast, Time Warner.
In lieu of looking at polls, they should have looked at the crowds Trump attracted vs. Hillary’s audiences. AND they should have looked at the # of small donors vs big, fat cat donors, to each of the campaigns, I know I personally gave more than I ever have in my life. Not big by most standards, but for me it was and it was a financial sacrifice that I was more than willing to make.
They also may have backfired in that Hillary supporters who were a bit on the lazy side thought, “Oh, she’s got it in the bag, I don’t need to go stand in line.”
Sarah should get the Interior Department.

Yes, that would ensure even more psychological breakdowns in Liberal fantasy land.
Wow - that is a miracle. Glad to hear about it. God bless you and your sister!
Don't give up on your family !
Once my cousin really started to read the "Federalist Papers", she came over to our side ...
