Do you think the media had it's own secret polls and failed to report Trump was actually ahead across the country?

Now the media is trying to explain to the public how they got ALL their data wrong on polls, but that Trump's data was the only one that got it right. WTF! There are computer programs that make predictions. Duh! That is what their are designed to do! People know. Why do you think there are protests all over the country?

  • They didn't get there formulas right.   They ignored too many important variables.  They had no idea who was and wasn't going to vote.  This election was so much different than others and they used the same old formula that isn't all that accurate to begin with.

    Hi Marguerite:

    According to a woman who studies this and gave her analysis on TV, they actually were wrong to about the same degree this year as they were in 2012. They underestimated the support for Obama then and for Trump now. I don't think there was any conspiracy.

    They weren't allowed to publish it. They probably didn't dare tell the Obama/Clinton clique.

    I think that yes they knew the main polls were wrong and the had a better idea of the truth in each state.
    It is impossible for any thinking person to not know the polls were wrong because polls taken at the same time with the same methodology did not agree with each other within the margin of error. When that happens it means at least one of the polls is not accurate or has underestimated the margin of error.  This was a regular occurrence. These polls were considered as a weapon against trump. Trump has supporters who were driven by the idea that he could pull it off and this idea made them get out and vote and they would not have otherwise.

    I also believe Clinton new the election was lost before that night.
