rip 500 fg but im glad what i saw on the ground was valid and that polls were wrong, even if the winner they had right. just too much redneck optimism to be as far of a gap as they reported. 6-8%? gtfo
The +17 WaPo one was wrong. I think we need to wait for ALL votes to be counted before making the claim that the polls were wrong. I will concede that some states were way the fuck off though. I can understand Florida being off because underestimating Latino enthusiasm is one thing and it's regional. How do you nail MN but fuck up so badly in similar demographic states? Will they do studies on rejected ballots to see if that had an impact? How will they quantify enthusiasm if the polls in general are wrong? Lots and lots to dissect.
Also, Nate Silver says Trump might get more votes than Obama did in 2008 so I hope he rubs it in Hussein Obama bin Laden's face.
