Sabato on Fox and Friends - the entire punditry and polling industry failed.

And not just a regular omelette, an omelette prepared by Spirit Cooking.

Yes. And if President Trump drains the swamp properly (sending 20 million illegals home, and using the DOJ to break up that ridiculous consent decree on voter fraud from 20 years ago) the Dem monopoly will be broken.

It was intentional, and they know it.

Were it my call I would outright BAN polling by the media during elections except to poll issues. No polling about candidate preference due to the ease in which these polls can be manipulated to influence voter turnout. Ditto exit polls should be banned since they serve no useful purpose at all.

Only the campaigns themselves should be able to poll the population re candidate preference and even then for their own internal uses only.

Frank LuntzVerified account ‏@FrankLuntz Americans weren't just "mad as hell," but they also weren't going to take it anymore. Pundits like me were too out-of-touch to see that.

Sabato is a professor of politics at UVA.

Those who can - do.
Those who can't - teach.

He’s not being gracious, none of them are. They’re simply trying to recover some ground and some credibility, so that they can go out in the next elction and do the exact same thing. All they hope is that they can refine their methods so that their propaganda-peddling works next time.

Exactly this ^^^.

Media polling was a deliberate attempt to depress and change public opinion. It was totally coordinated among the various TV and print media.

Hat tips to Conservative Treehouse and Julian Assange. These were the articles that kept me sane during this election cycle.

They didn’t fail. They did what they planned to do. And saying afterwards, “Oops, we blew it” was part of the plan.

I don’t know who he is, but at least he had enough of a shred of honesty to admit he was very wrong.

He is man enough to admit it. Good on him for that.

He didn't admit anything. He and all the rest of them are still lying. They didn't "get it wrong". That implies an honest attempt to get it right. Instead, they intentionally lied to us in an attempt to manipulate the vote. They lied then and they lie now! They're worse than worthless!

The data never confirmed their polls. Their loss. Hopefully financial.

Thank you again for your mail drops. It was refreshing to get a clear perspective of what was happening.

He got it wrong, but the thing about Silver is that he was getting screamed at by liberals for suggesting he had a 35% chance and saying that he could not trust some of the polling data.

And they’re trying to prepare the ground to do the exact same thing the next election. All they want to “learn from this” is how to get better-more undetectable-at it.

There is only one democratic pollster to trust after this election..... Pat Caddell.... He called it. He said late last week that it was breaking towards Trump and that he would win.


This is worth repeating. Nobody, and I mean nobody, in the polling and punditry class looks more brilliant today than Pat Caddell. In fact, if all the talking heads want to understand what just happened they should read his piece from a couple of days ago.
