How did polls miss the presidential election result so badly?


(Mario Anzuoni/Reuters)Heading into Election Day, virtually all public polling — at the national and swing-state level — pointed to a relatively easy victory for Democrat Hillary Clinton. FIX: This is, at least, the second straight presidential election where polls missed the mark — this one by a wide margin. The enormous difference here is that the error had virtually all the polls pointing to the wrong outcome. We’re not there yet: Internet polls, as well as live and automated polls, appear to have had similar errors this year, as they did in 2012. We got two states wrong; the rest was what seemed to be a long-shot Trump sweep in toss-up states.
