They will write books about this. It will fundamentally change how pre-election polls are conducted. It's amazing.
As someone said earlier. The polls were skewed heavily. I don't think we knew HOW heavily but they clearly missed some of the demographic.
I'd guess that the real issue is that voter turnout does not line up with the polls.
Another factor is the polls showed a large number of undecided voters - something like 4 times the size of Clinton's predicted lead I think.
The polls could well have been correct for decided voters.........but it's not a very useful insight if the voters you don't know about could flip that many times over.
