Why even use polls if you can just predict it?
If you set your sights too high and then fail to deliver that's disappointing. I'm under the impression it was a fairly worse swing in comparison to swings usually seen in these elections and considering Trump is meant to be evil incarnate and millions more voters turned out nothing happened.
It did make me laugh that the BBC headlines in the early hours (i.e. as results were coming in) were talking about how the dems had under-performed and were only likely to take the house and not the senate then this afternoon it was DEMS TAKE THE HOUSE!!!!!
