Political polls do more harm than good
summary
Argues public polls miss reality: only 4 of 61 aggregated pre‑election polls showed Trump winning, national head‑to‑head tracking misleads about the Electoral College, and response bias from cell phones, internet sampling and low participation (47% cellphone‑only, ~40% landlines, smartphone penetration ~67%) skews results; cites Bradley effect and Trump effect. Proposes removing national polls, focusing on state 270 paths, or radically enabling phone voting to boost turnout from ~20% to 80–90%.
