    Polling showed Clinton as being most likely to win. The fact that she didn’t win doesn’t mean the polling is necessarily meaningless. Even if someone has a 90% chance of winning, it means they can not only lose, but 1 in 10 times you expect them to lose.

      Exactly. The polls showed that Trump had a small chance of winning and he did. It’s just like with the weather. When there’s a 90% chance of rain and it doesn’t rain, people say the weather person knows nothing, but that’s not how it works.
