      Just like here with our general election, the Scottish independence vote and Brexit. They're a waste of time.

        I went back and forth between the coverage on Fox and the last two episodes of Ray Donovan. At one point Karl Rove whipped and we have the elections to find out if the polls are accurate or not.

              It doesn't matter Woody . Seems to me the consensus of every pore had Donald Trump losing by 4.

              The last few days Democrats have been on MSNBC taking an early Victory lap.

                Early on I did not have a good feeling about Trump winning because of the exit polls and the talking heads at Fox acting like Trump had already lost Florida before the real votes were counted due to the huge Hispanic/Latino turnout...it was common knowledge going into the election Trump had to win Florida to win the election......

                    I watched NBC and it it was a real struggle for them to call Florida - waiting like they did.

                    also a side piece showing a room full of undocumented people in Fla huddled around the tv

                    Overall the early voting - polling had a phony feel to me as well - what with all the enthusiasm Trump had

                          Not surprising....

                          Most interesting thing about the polls? That HRC under performed even Trump's internal polling... in other words his campaign went into the evening believing they were likely going to lose.

                          Most of the polling percentages were close. Where the polls went off rails were in their "likely voters" predictions. Where Trump came much closer to Romney than HRC did Obama in 2012.

                          Game set match...

                            Well GA was not a toss up. Trump won Ohio by a wide margin. NC too. We all knew TX wasn't a toss up.

                              Not sure what your definition of "toss up" is... or what your post was in response to for that matter.

                              NC was separated by 177,000 votes out of 4.5mm. Georgia 130,000 out of 4mm. Those are close, competitive results which is my definition of toss up.

                              Ohio was widely predicted for Trump albeit not by the margin he rolled up.

                                This seems like an anomaly. if anything, a chance to rework the formula

                                  As I was partly paying attention to the news coverage today on MSNBC I heard a black woman panelis bemoan the fact that and this is almost a direct quote, as journalists I feel we didn't do enough. As journalist? Please.

                                    One last poll comment...

                                    There was one in 538's, national poll, data base that "got it right". The final Marist poll, an "A" rated poll put HRC up by one in their raw data, but their adjusted number was Trump +1.

                                    http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/national-polls/

                                    A click on the embedded Marist link takes you to the article associated with the poll's release. It opens with:

                                    A majority of voters believe Hillary Clinton has done something illegal, according to a new McClatchy-Marist Poll days before the presidential election.

                                    A total of 83 percent of likely voters believe that Clinton did something wrong – 51 percent saying she did something illegal and 32 percent saying she something unethical but not illegal. Just 14 percent said she’s done nothing wrong.

                                    By comparison, 79 percent think Donald Trump did something wrong, though not nearly as many think he did something illegal. Just 26 percent think he’s done something illegal, while 53 percent think he’s dome something unethical but not illegal. Just 17 percent think he’s done nothing wrong.

                                    http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/election/article112635048.html

                                    I'm sure the election will be dissected 20 ways to Sunday over the coming weeks, but at a glance this could be as close to a rationale I've heard.

                                    The late Comey letter impact? I'll leave that for others to parse... but if you dig into Marist's preceding Sept. poll (see page 14) "Soft Dems" were far more favorable towards HRC than Soft Repubs were toward Trump.
