Last night was a difficult one for political pollsters in the United States, including Ipsos. Almost without exception, the major polling agencies and their media partners predicted that Hillary Clinton would win both the Electoral College and the popular vote. As we all know now, Donald Trump won the Electoral College and is at a near-even split on the popular vote (counting continues).
Our last pre-election poll shows Hillary Clinton building back some of the lead lost in the wake of Comey’s initial letter to Congress. This data paired with the state-level data from our final States of the Nation poll mean we put Clinton’s odds at 90% of winning the White House tomorrow.
Starting the last pre-election weekend, this election is closing as undecided and third party voters come home to the major candidates, more to Trump’s benefit than Clinton’s.
