2016 Postmortem

Seriously, what the heck was up with that?
Rasmussen, Gallop, and Mason-Dixon in particular.
I don't think I'll ever trust Rasmussen again. They were consistently wrong. Gallup has been wrong for a month. Mason-Dixon has been all over the place.
Almost ever single poll was skewed right this year. Underestimated turnout? I don't know, but in virtually every race democrats over performed the polls.
Polls weren't even close in ND and MT.
Also, I am sick of PPP being called a left-leaning pollster. They're straight up.
I am looking forward to seeing what Nate Silver has to say about it.
