The biggest poll supporter in this forum told me that Hillary would win in a landslide and the only question was who far over 270 she'd go. He told me to "write it down", so I did. And when it was over he wasn't wrong and the polls weren't wrong. The people were wrong.
The polls predicted that Clinton would win the national popular vote, and she did. On top of that, she won the national popular vote by a margin that was within the MoE the polls were predicting. The polls weren't wrong. People were taking that polling and applying it without taking into consideration the EC. There were some pollsters that were saying her losing the election and winning the popular vote was a possibility based on the polling.
Anyway, this is probably something like the twentieth time I've had to repeat all of this since the election.
