The pollsters are defending themselves exactly as I predicted

Silver was so defensive about any questioning of polls and his model. His fanboys just pointed to 2012 and the the later primaries...bozos

What was he supposed to do? Pretend the data weren't leaning towards a Clinton victory. Look at how much more realistic their models were compared to everybody else.


In fact, 538 had two articles (one in September and one a week before election) discussing the real possibility of Trump losing the popular vote but winning the Electoral College.

Besides, what about in 2012 where you were predicting a Romney victory with 300+ electoral votes? As a statistician yourself, aren't you critical of your misses as well?
