And we won't be too sad about that, will we? :-)
Seriously though, I agree, it has to be groupthink.
I have really tried hard to see it from their point of view, but with the internet figures (views on YouTube, twitter, FB etc etc), the numbers attending the rallies,the real data of early voting (not "exit polls"), and the comparison between the 2008, 2012 and the present election I cannot come to any other conclusion that the majority of the pollsters are sleepwalking into an election night as infamous as the Truman/Dewey one.
That's what I'm feeling too. And if that happens, the huge shock will be all the more painful for them. LOL.
Yup we did the same thing in 2012 in dismissing/explaining away all data/signs that pointed to the impending Obama win.
We were so sure he would lose - until he didn’t and we were shocked by the outcome.
That’s the exactly what the other side is doing now. They’re so sure Trump will lose - the only conclusion they draw is Hillary will win.
Reality is a lot of butthurt and never feels good.
