After Trump’s Massive Victory, Why Should We Bother Listening to Pollsters Again?

This was supposed to be the tightest U.S. election in living memory. So tight, in fact, that we were told it could take days for the winner to be declared. Yet within just hours of polls closing, it was clear not only that Trump had won, but had won big.

The now-president-elect easily passed the required 270 electoral college votes. He also retook control of the Senate, is now on track to win the popular vote, and could also win a majority in the House of Representatives. That’s a fairly clean slate.
