Before we go into what went wrong, let's just call a spade a spade here: this was a bad polling error. It's comparable to 2016 in size, but pollsters don't have the excuses they did last time. This year's polls would have been *way* worse than 2016 with a 2016 methodology — PolitiTweet.org

There are really two halves of polling: the quality of the sample you get, and the adjustments you take to improve the representativeness of your sample. Since 2016, pollsters got better at the adjustments, but the underlying sample got worse — PolitiTweet.org
