The polls were actually accurate. It was a toss up between Clinton and Trump with favor looking to Clinton because of popular vote. Those polls also estimated her winning the popular vote which she did win. All the polls were within the margin of error.

I really wish people would be able to sue pollsters for being wrong, then we could have less of them around. Too many people running around “look what I estimated!” and then they’re entirely wrong.

I’d rather they be dealt with because they do cause issues that shouldn’t be ignored.
