Hillary vs Trump, Brexit going the way of the EU, Bernie Sanders sweeping the Dem vote to run.
All of these were apparently forgone conclusions, all went the other way.
Trump has the silent majority (state to state not population) I wouldn't be surprised at all if he won again despite what the "polls" say, they've hardly been reliable in recent years.
They were forgone conclusions because the media crafted narratives that polling didn't back up. The polling was accurate (outside of Wisconsin), the reporting wasn't. If you look at the poll numbers and the margins of error, nothing out of the ordinary happened with Brexit, Trump winning, or Bernie being the front runner before Buttigieg, Kloubuchar, Warren, and Bloomberg (and Tulsi but she was irrelevant) dropped out and the race became Biden vs Sanders.
The state polling compared to the election results proved Trump didn't have a silent majority. The numbers didn't back it up.
But if you look at Biden's numbers, they're well outside the margins of error and far, far better than where Hillary was at the same point in the calendar. I'm talking state polls where it matters because of EVs, not national polls that the media focused on.
