The main stream media polls were completely debunked. I'm a statistician by trade and all you have to do is look at the construction of their samples to see they over-sampled Democrats in their polls, which is why they consistently showed Clinton as favored over Trump. In some of the polls I saw, they had over-sampled by as much as 10% over and above the party affiliation registration statistics. They would claim that more Democrats were likely to vote to justify their over-sampling, but any junior statistician could have told you that enthusiasm for Clinton among Democrats was running very low compared to Obama. Conversely, enthusiasm for Trump among Republicans was running very high compared to McCain, Romney, and former Republican candidates. That would have argued for a slight over-sampling of Republicans, NOT Democrats.

One thing we have absolutely learned in this last election is that the mainstream media has staked out a position of bias that is overwhelmingly anti-Trump. But then again, Trump declared war on the media and they have declared war back. So we are watching a coordinated effort to delegitimize a standing President. It could very well be the beginning of the end of our Democracy, if 50% of the population refuses to accept the outcome of a fair election. I've never in my life seen this level of hysteria and outrage and violence directed towards a President and his policies. Well, I guess there was Vietnam.
