A Trump win would be another black eye for pollsters
Final national polls from some of the major outfits:
- NBC/SM: Clinton +6
- Ipsos: Clinton +4
- NBC/WSJ: Clinton +4
- ABC/WaPo: Clinton +4
- Herald: Clinton +4
- Bloomberg: Clinton +3
Ultimately, pollsters could completely blow this one but when the next election comes along, we'll be playing the same game. There's just no way to get away from the polls.
For a larger sample, here are all the polls released today. Let's just call it a three-point Clinton lead. Trump's hope has to be that there is some kind of systematic error in a key assumption like turnout, demographics or that his voters were shy in online and phone polls.
