Why were the polling results and predictions for the US 2016 presidential election so inaccurate/wrong?
Were there any other factors that contributed to the inaccurate predictions?
Some people have also attributed the inaccuracies to a sampling error, which occurs when the individuals polled are not representative of the overall population. There may have also been an overreliance on historical data, which may not have taken into account the unique circumstances and dynamics of the 2016 election.
