Maybe.  Either Trump won because of some hard to predict freak accident or the neo-cons have successfully finagled things so a minority of voters can beat the majority.

I'm no history buff, but are there polls where Romney or Dukakis or Bob Dole were expected to win by a healthy margin? I guess what I'm trying to figure out is if the polls are useless now because:

A. the world and polling methods have changed
B. the power of Trump throws stuff off
C. the polls were just flat-out wrong and/or conducted in a flawed manner


Are polls worthless now? If Trump were up big in the polls right now would Trump supporters still be saying "Oh, that means nothing!"

Personally, I'm of the mind Biden being up big means he MIGHT win. That's how slanted the playfield is at the moment.
