Simple fact is, anyone who relied on polls to determine politics is just dumb and silly. Polls can be manipulate to fit the political agenda. About 218 or so news organizations endorsed Clinton. About 8 endorsed Trump.  Polls are often commissioned by the news media. Often the polls reflects the political agenda of the news media, not the actual mood of the voters. Trump's victory implied only one simple fact - utter rejection of Obama. But the media has painted Obama as one of the most popular Presidents but that too is based on the polls, not reality. Republican Party, long deemed to be dead and buried only a week ago, not only won the White House, control majority of the governorships, the House of Representatives and almost the Senate, astounded the Democrats by its resurrection from the dead. Once more due to the meaningless polls.
