The Election Results
When we found out the results of the election, most of America seemed shocked. All the polls prior to the elections favored Hillary to win over Trump. They had Hillary at 67% chance to win and Donald Trump at 33% chance. However, I disagree with this idea of chance. I think that there was a 100% chance for Donald Trump to win, we just didn't know it was going to happen. Why were we misdirected into thinking that Hillary had it made? Why were the polls wrong? Was it because they had a bad sample of people? Or was it because they lied about their results? Or was it because Trump Supporters were actually the silent majority? What do you think?

I think that since the media favored Clinton so heavily, it discouraged Clinton supporters from feeling the necessity to vote because they thought it would be a guaranteed win. I mean, before yesterday, who thought this was going to be even remotely close?
ReplyDeleteI think the polls were just doing a poor job polling, not intentionally, but because they were using the wrong techniques. I don't know how they should improve on their techniques, but I feel that we shouldn't totally throw out what the polls say based on one bad result.
