Just this week, there have been 41 new polls released on the 2020 presidential election. With all of them having nearly differing results, how can you trust them? Especially after so many political polls were totally wrong on President Donald Trump's 2016 election?
Two North Carolina poll experts admit their predictions were off four years ago, but they both claim they weren't as far off as many people believe. On the morning of the election, the New York Times showed Hillary Clinton up by 3.1%. The problem with a victory, was predicting an electoral college victory. The polls were within their margin of error, but with Trump's close wins in swing states, he was able to win the White House.
There were two big blunders: How polls choose who to pick for their surveys and their education levels. The second problem? Trying to determine if a candidate is up or down heading into an election.
