Donald Trump barely won. They regularly gave him a %25+ chance of winning and regularly pointed out that that was a good chance.

The thing is, these surprising results tend to happen the first (and only) time... which is rather unforgiving with the percentages.

In Michigan, a state where 41/2 million votes were cast, he won by ~10,000 votes. That's nearly the definition of barely winning.
