Despite the polls showing Hillary way ahead of Trump, Hillary lost. Despite the polls giving Trump a low job approval rating, and the Dems thinking they could capitalize on that, still lost the recent special elections. Forget the polls. They haven't been doing the Dems any good. Either the Dems figure out a message to win back the white male blue collar working class in the rust belt and coal states or they can figure on losing more elections.
A majority of U.S. adults (59%) say stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost, compared with roughly a third (34%) who say such regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy, according to the survey, conducted Nov. 30 to Dec. 5.
In a way the polls that said Hillary would win were right. She won the popular vote. It was %40 taking her base for granted and not campaigning in certain places and %60 gerrymandering.
I'm going to trust polls over Republican talking points any day. Right wing media (and Trump) just keep repeating the same thing until it becomes rote memory, wether it's true or untrue, and it's usually untrue.
