Who put out fake polls in 2016 presidential election?

My interpretation:
Democrats are retarded and shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Actually a good sample
Really?
When 40% of a "good sample" are not labeled as leaners, but are rather termed "independents", how are we to know whether it is a good sample or not?
It's analogous to surveying the population at large on a political question, yet not testing the sample at all for Dems or Republicans. In a world where national elections are considered a blowout if 5% separates the candidates, yet a survey gives Dems a 5% advantage, one would assume (in an accurate survey) AT LEAST a slight GOP lean to the indy group.
Was that the case in this "good sample"?
Further, this survey holds that just 12% of Democrats favor extensions of the US-Mexico border wall. Yet 2 yrs ago >85% of them heavily supported a POTUS who built more wall than Donald Trump has. Either the surveyed audience is a group of imbeciles, or there is a flaw in the poll somewhere, or both.
Wouldn't you agree?

Surprised ABC didn't say 100% oppose Trump.

From a link in the article
Nothing like a gauge of national interest by interviewing a pool of people that can be found at a Friday night high school football game.
It did get Hillary elected after all.

The way the Constitution has us set up, this is a shared responsibility, like a pregnancy.

Stopped reading here.
Fake news.

After virtually the entire media blames Trump, amazingly a media poll finds out 53% of those polled also blame Trump. Frankly, I'm shocked it's that low.

Polls like this will never be held up against actual results. If they choose to, they can manipulate it.

Trumps supporters want their wall funding and there is no way politically he can walk away without it. Trump simply can’t afford to back down.

show us ABC's accurate polling for the presidential election
If people are too embarrassed to admit which candidate they support, polls will not be accurate.

ABC was almost dead on in 2016
Damned close to perfect.
How did they do with EC, though?
