Why the polls are wrong about Trump. Again.
By Mark Penn, opinion contributor - 04/28/17 08:45 AM EDT

Today we live in a polling bubble – surveys taken from the perches in New York, Washington and Los Angeles may be obscuring rather than illuminating many of the underlying views and trends of the American electorate.

How else can one explain that although many polls showed a close race last November, almost no one (myself included) predicted a lopsided victory for Donald Trump in the Electoral College. Most media analysts and modelers concluded a Hillary Clinton victory was in the bag. One Princeton professor even agreed to eat a bug if Trump won.

Ok, but did the Princeton prof eat the bug or not?  Enquiring minds want to know.
