So, let me get this right...Polls are not to be trusted but...

I am supposed to believe the percentages of who voted for who and why...post election?
And have these pundits tell me what people voted and why people voted the way they did?

its the projections of the polling (voter intention) onto reality (who gets to cast a vote and get it counted) which are broken.

I got caught up in 2016 with the Nate Silver percent chance of winning crap. After 2016, I stopped obsessing or putting stock in this stuff. The way I see it, a big chunk of rural America has become liberal hating bat shit crazy people. I align with urban/suburban voters thought processes and I live in rural Texas. Beyond that, not much more polling needed. The election says it all.
