This election is not like any other. Most of America thought it would be a case of Jeb losing to Hill cos you European now. Or something similar. ..
I didn't dodge? I said they get stuff wrong sometimes, Trump was one of those things. All predictors get things wrong sometimes, that's why they are predictors and not fortune tellers. Just because they were wrong about Trump in the primaries doesn't mean they are wrong now.
This election is unique, that is why Nate Silver himself has said that it's harder to predict, because of the potential for the secret Trump vote that may or may not exist. And the changing demographics. Polling is harder now than it's ever been. But they're still the best way to gauge what's going to happen.
Some of the polls lean Dem, some lean repub, that's just their nature. That's why the best thing to do instead of looking at individual polls is to look at aggregates of them, which do support what I said. Arizona is about as close as Penn or Michigan. I don't think any of them will flip, but the odds are what I said.
