I vote "yes in all cases". You should always be skeptical of polling data, and should always take into account its margins and probabilities, and its methodology - but you shouldn't just throw out polling science altogether (as they say, you don't throw out the baby with the bathwater).
You should also realize that Mr. Trump still uses polling data - he just disregards "negative polls", silly!
Maybe you should pay attention to his words. Or wait...are we still disregarding his words and only accepting what he feels inside?
This election has proven that Trump is right about the polls being fake.
I got really tired of people posting poll numbers, which were proven having zero credibility.
After the 98.4% of Hillary winning the election poll numbers, do you still believe the polls?
After what came out re: polls, the media, and the relationships between the media and politicans during this past campaign, I look at every number and every supposed piece of information with all due caution.

Most polls were put together by organization that supported Hillary. NYT, Washington Post, USToday and so on. I have a feeling most polls were conducted in the East which is mostly Hillary country.
I for one have never seen such partisanship by the media, well since Obama ran in 2008.
I heard the MSM as in CBS, NBC ABC CNN and MSNBC ran about 80% negative stories on Trump and about 8% negative on Hillary.
I think that negative reporting got the Republican voter riled up and turned off the key Democratic vote.

"Still"??
I never have believed them. As far as I am concerned, the Shaman tossing sheep knuckle bones can make just as valid predictions. Witch doctors examining rooster guts may even do better.
Asking loaded questions of 1500 people does not, IMO, give you an idea of what 3,000,000 people think about an issue.
Yes, I have received polling calls. Yes, I have agreed to participate. Yes, I told them that given the way their questions were worded, I could not answer them truthfully. They WERE loaded questions, in an attempt to slant the results as they wanted them.
Each time, I finally had to refuse to participate further, and hung up.

Even right-leaning pollsters like Fox, Rasmussen, and Breitbart had Hillary winning, so spare me the liberal bias argument.
The idea that only 8% of Hillary's press was negative is absolutely ridiculous. With Comey and Wikileaks making her life miserable? Be serious.
Strangely enough, the national polls were right, Hillary did win in fact win the popular vote. It's at the state level where the polling errors occurred, particularly in the Rust Belt.

The way he said it HE KNOWS IT WAS STOLEN (THATS HOW HE GOT IN) -- He put it right in thier faces by saying that and they still dont see it!! (Thats how mind controlled they are!!)
