Serious question I'd like to hear people throw out their opinions on. You can insult me too, thats cool, but at least try and give a real answer. What is the deal with polls being so wrong when dealing with Trump? I'm honestly curious what the thoughts on here are.
The mistakes in the polling always favor the dems. Don't look at the pollsters. Look at who contracts them to take the polls. Its meant to discourage conservative voters from showing up to vote.

The polls are just more fake news from the fake news media.
Yep. All basic stuff that until today, accountinquestion, you didn't want to believe. You were stuck on your Trump hero worship schtick.

It's not over yet though.
No, there are other competing theories that don't seem to fall under the "the media is evil" umbrella conspiracy. I think there is some reason Trump voters lie to pollsters. Either shame or malice. These people have a huge distrust of many things and may very well lie intentionally. Others may be ashamed to admit they like trump because of his racism and misogyny and anti-environment stances.

And I also agree that some polls are shit. I don't follow poll analysis closely but typically a meta-analysis can weed out which polls are crap. And contrary to you guys wish to believe, some media outlets/whatever do have a long-running credibility they wish to maintain. I'm very skeptical of the #msmisdevil crowd even if a lot of the time they make valid points.

There is likely a bit of truth to all of the above.
