Liberals: Are you going to believe the polls in the 2020 election like you did the ones that projected that Clinton would win?

Even though the polls from the 2016 election that you flaunted so much turned out be a fraud?

No. I think 2016 will do to millennials what 2000 did to the Gen-Xers -- make sure to vote and don't take anything for granted, especially when Democrats decide to back the most uninspiring of candidates.

No, I'll be more skeptical. I still don't know what the pollsters did wrong - seems they correctly predicted the popular vote, but not the electoral college.

America isn't going to want 4 more years of this cluster ****.

The idea that "polls are meaningless" is a popular one among Trump supporters now. I presume it's because polls show that Trump is incredibly unpopular and they want to avoid having to accept that fact. But this meme isn't really true.

The national level polls were pretty accurate at the end. In the last week of the election they showed Clinton leading Trump by about 1-2% and that's where she ultimately ended up: getting a little over 2% more of the popular vote than Trump. What ended up being a bid misleading were some of the state level polls. Since Trump won narrow victories in a couple of Rust Belt states he was able to win the electoral college despite most people voting against him. This was a surprise because the polling in some of those states didn't predict a Trump win. But this isn't an indictment of all polls. Rather, when you look at the polls you see that they were wrong for the reasons that you'd expect a poll to be wrong: there were relatively few of them and they often used small sample sizes. That allowed for more errors to creep in. But what we're seeing now with public opinion polling doesn't fall into that category. We've got lots of polls which are all saying similar things.

If you support Trump, and want him to succeed, then pretending that the polls are fake isn't very smart. At best all it does is give you some short term comfort of pretending that Trump is really well liked. But that just sets you up for disappointment if Trump fails at the ballot box later on. If you spend the next eighteen months pretending that the polls are all fake and then it turns out that they're not and Democrats win a big victory in 2018 (as they look likely to at this point) then you're just going to feel even worse. It would be better to accept the realism of the polls and do something about it. Contact Trump and Republicans and pressure them to do things which will pull their poll numbers up and prevent them from losing power.

Hillary is a Democrat. Not a Liberal. And polls or people had nothing to do with that election. It was rigged. The people spoke. 3 million more for her. You can count.

I'm somewhat liberal and somewhat I just don't give a fu**. After this shite show that we called an election, I think I'll just be passing on the voting from here on out. The people from this country would sooner vote for the worst possible candidates than anyone that can actually help improve the country. Not to mention, what's the point of even voting if the Electoral college has the final say?

Sounds pretty futile to me. I say vote for no one because either way, we're doomed.

Hillary got 3 or so more million votes than trump, and 62% of the population didnt even vote
also, just so you know, illegals can't vote without getting caught

They didnt turn out to be a fraud. Hillary did get more votes. Trump just happened to win by a fraction in a few states.

They are pollsters, not psychics.

MSNBC did it out of allegiance to the NAZI partisan media.
