Were they? LA Times was off by at least three points, which is no better than quite a few other polls. IBD ended up very close.

Several polls were probably within a margin of error of the actual result.

I don't know about the LA Times, but IBD is turning out to be a very accurate poll. I believe they were closest in calling 2008 and 2012 when it was getting closer to Election Day.

I have to laugh at all those biased polls and the CD members who keeps on posting them here.

IBD can REALLY tout their claim as the most accurate poll now! They should charge big money for other pollsters to see their methodology.

Did you notice how quickly Chris Stirewalt ( FOX Pollster and pundit ) dismissed the L A Times poll.

It is a new different model for polling and that seems to offend him. It sounded like it would be more accurate than some of the methods that have been in use,

I don't think a single poll had Trump winning Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. I was stunned that he won all three. The media and polls lost all credibility today.


I have never been a fan of pre election polls on candidates, I feel it interferes with democracy. It's possible that enough Hillary voters felt they didn't need to vote and stayed home. But it's also possible people who thought Trump had no chance didn't vote for him when they otherwise would have.

Okay, you have a point. But it did indicate Trump would win and that did turn out to be correct when virtually all polls were forecasting a huge Clinton win. Fox News had Clinton up 4 for example. Chris Stirewalt should be shown the door.
