> Trump has the support of roughly half of the country

Per the latest Gallup daily tracking, 51% disapprove, 43% approve, and the quickest President to majority disapproval in the history of the tracking poll.

The same polls that predicted Hillary's win?

I'm not buying it.

> The same polls that predicted Hillary's win Nope; one because the Gallup daily Presidential approval tracking poll is not an election poll; two because polls don't predict anything, models that use polling data as an input do.

> I'm not buying it.

Facts remain facts regardless of whether they are convenient to your preferred team.

Hilary did win. The popular vote. Which is really what most of the polls were tracking. 80,000 votes out of 130,000,000+ swung the EC. Aside from holding an actual election, no poll can get the margin of error down to that level. The polls were not wrong. They were polls.

History can't be retconned this quickly.

The polls were done state by state and showed Hillary with a substantial electoral college advantage over Trump.

These poll results weren't about reporting on the feelings of the electorate, they were about trying to influence them.
