Trump Outperforms Polling for 3rd Straight Election

If the current popular vote results hold, President-elect Donald Trump will surpass national pollsters’ expectations by at least 3 percentage points.

Once again, it appears the pollsters missed the mark on President-elect Donald Trump.

On Nov. 5, it became clear Trump would win the Electoral College. As of about 5 p.m. ET on Nov. 6, The Associated Press had yet to call the race in Arizona and Nevada. Nevertheless, Trump will capture at least 295 electoral votes, and he is trending to sweep all seven battleground states.
