And his supporters moved to supporting Hillary at a faster rate than Hillary’s moved to Obama, so if Bernie’s supporters were being unreasonable, at least they were less unreasonable than Hillary’s.

You know, I don’t trust Daily Kos polling information anymore.

That’s not a Daily Kos poll. It’s an ABC/Washington Post poll, just a Daily Kos article about that poll.

Not when the pollsters had worse aim than an OT Imperial Stormtooper.

The pollsters and the forecasters are different things. There really wasn’t much in the way of good polling at all in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, because nobody was interested in how much Clinton would win by, and that’s one problem with the polls right there. The battleground states were pre-supposed – which does make some degree of sense, why pay for a poll in Wyoming when you know Trump will win? They just guessed the wrong states. Without good polls in the states that matter, you’re forecasting based on incomplete data.
