He’s had yet another horrible week. The old tricks aren’t working. Kamala Harris does not fear him. And it’s showing in the numbers.

      No, they just don’t have to poll massive groups, surprisingly small groups work well enough for polling.

          Almost every poll had him winning within the margin of error, 2016 was never certain, just like this election isn’t.

          Polls are all about probability. They can’t predict the future. So, even though Hillary was likely to win, there was still a chance that Trump could win. Does this mean that polls are useless? No, because knowing the popularity of your candidate relative to the other candidates is important information.
