The poll numbers did move. But polls are just polls. The election is the real count but it only happens once, you can't draw trend lines.

- gnaritas 10y agoPolls take time to move, some moved, some weren't re-polled before the election, and no polls aren't just polls; poll are a statistical sampling of the electorate and do allow you to draw a trend line and notice things like hey, that piece of news made a different in the outcome. That elections happen only once is not relevant, it doesn't invalidate the poll data that shows minds were changed.
