538 did an article about this recently. It wasn't a failure of polls - they showed a toss-up, as much as people not believing it and thinking 'stay' was ahead when it was not shown to be in polls (unless you were looking at just a few that did show 'stay' ahead). I recall there was one that show stay 7 points ahead and another showing leave 7 points ahead. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Repeating myself, but the Brexit polls weren't bad.

Let's ignore the fact that your premise was already shown to be wrong and pretend it's true. Why point ot the failure of the Brexit Poll and ignore all the many, many other poll averages that have gotten the US Presidential election right year after year after year? That seems like the definition of willful ignorance.
Good god I had to listen to my parents at dinner last night talk about how the world is going to be so much better after the 8th because Trump is going to CRUSH that crook!
Where do you get your basis? Over sampled polling? Open your eyes! https://i.reddituploads.com/52d9cb5...536&w=1536&s=74681bb388818cc0c6f17883a72b23a7 I'm not the one saying it! Podesta is.
Did you see Friday's New York Daily New? Brutal 9,000 word takedown that railed against Donald Trump and everything that he stands for. Daily News Editorial: “NEWS TO AMERICA: BURY TRUMP IN A LANDSLIDE. Restore U.S. honor with giant defeat of the fearmongering demagogue.” http://interactive.nydailynews.com/2016/10/daily-news-editorial-bury-trump-in-landslide/
All this landslide stuff is bunk. You still have to vote. Hope people don't stay home just because the polls are saying one thing.
Fear of a Donald Trump presidency might actually bring out more of the youth vote than Obama's campaign did.
I doubt that. All Trump has done is make woman not want him and go vote for Hillary. Woman were pretty solid behind her before but now it is solid. We know the minority vote was sewn up as usual.
