There's a big gap between public opinion polls and the vote in Washington, in Congress.
Predicting voter turnout is not hard, it’s impossible.
The errors in media polling rarely benefit a Republican.
There are so many ways and different people who show up and vote now. The way turnout works now. The abilities we have now to turn out voters. The polling can't understand that. And that's why the polling was so wrong in 2016. It was 100% wrong. Nobody got it right - not one public poll.
The problem is that when polls are wrong, they tend to be wrong in the same direction. If they miss in New Hampshire, for instance, they all miss on the same mistake.
Opinion polls often suffer on account of unexpected developments once the electoral process starts, such as the death of a political leader (as in the case of the late Rajiv Gandhi).
The polls told us that Hillary Clinton was going to win, and she didn't. I wasn't fooled by the polls.
You'd think experienced political professionals would know better than to place their trust in exit polls, notoriously inaccurate surveys that had John Kerry winning the 2004 election by five points when he actually lost by three.
Polls are for strippers and cross-country skiers.
