there was a you sela times prediction that -- usc l.a. times prediction that had trump at the top but a political analyst says maybe the polls weren't exactly wrong. hillary clinton's surrogate made his foray into politics a couple of years ago. >> we would go home and discuss the politics of the day. florida. >> next to financing, candidates are looking at polls constantly. >> reporter: but this year he ran for the state senate and lost by a handful of votes. throughout the process, he relied on polls, a sampling of likely voters to make his decisions. >> it helped determine a lot of strategy in terms of the things you're going to do next. it helps from a messaging standpoint. >> reporter: but during this election, every poll got it wrong. people even believed in data for 30 years in politics and data died tonight. i could not have been more wrong about this election." many people know contribute that to the shy trump effect, people who supported trump privately but not publicly. >> the people that sort of came out of the woodwork to vot

the usc "l.a.poll which was largely dismissed had been seeing a wave of trump support for months and for most of the summer and fall the "l.a. times" poll was giving trump about 6 points more than the polling averages. same poll also said trump's odds of winning will come down to how he mobilizes white voters especially white men. and interesting it found that trump voters, especially women, were less comfortable telling polsters they supported trump. the investors business daily tipp poll also predicted a trump victory. the man who runs that poll says despite democrats having more registered voters across the country, he thought gop turnout would be equal because there simile was more enthusiasm. megyn? >> trank yohank you. >>> chris stirewalt, politics editor and arnon mishkin, director of the fox news desk, the director is here. mr. director. in a line or two. what was it? why was this essentially missed? i realize that there is margin of error. skip that nonsense. what happened? >> i think what

the usc/l.a. times dornsite survey which had the same sample group. they had 3,000 people and instead of going to a new sample group each and every week they went back to the same 3,000. let me say to one other point to what van has said. whether it's tonight or whether it's tomorrow whenever this wraps up we're about to listen to the most consequential acceptance and speech of someone who lost an election, whoever may wear those crowns. and wow, is there a real need for leadership from those folks now to extend olive branches, whoever wins -- >> donald trump early on during the primaries would say a lot in interviews that he can be presidential, he can change his tone, he in palm beach is a different person than he was elsewhere. and i think we're going to see as a country what -- if in fact he takes the oval office what that actually means. >> what that looks like. and we've seen some of that, right? in these last couple of weeks or so he was teleprompter trump. he was different. he was able to stay on schedule and stay on message, sometimes coax hi

fallout from the election and the election stunner, just about every poll got it wrong except for the usc/"l.a. times" poll. which pretty consistently had trump in the lead. what did you see that others missed? >> we did take a lot of criticism, and on the whole, we're pretty happy with how our poll performed. one big difference between the way we do our poll and how others did is the fact that we work with panel of members over time. so that's pretty much the same people over the course of an election. while other pollsters may talk to different people each time. and in an election seawh many people may have felt shy about talking about their vote choice, this allowed us to build trust with our panelists and i think that it allowed us to see the entire spectrum of the vote. >> now, even though your results, you were one of the few that did get it right, were you surprised so many other people got it wrong? >> well, this was a very difficult election to poll in. and a big difference, another big difference between the way that we do our polling and how others do is that rather than asking a tr

l.a. times"/usc tracking poll has donald trump up by 6 points over hillary clinton. nationwide. although i should point out that that particular poll has had donald trump up all along in this race from the very beginning. all of those daily tracking polls that are showing either tied or trump pulling ahead, those are all national polls. the thing is we don't do elections as a nationwide thing. in this country we do them state to state. that's how you put together a win or a loss in a presidential election. so that is actually where you should be looking in order to see who is more likely to win. the national polls are on interesting snapshot. but if you want to know who will take things on election day, you go state to state. how do things look right now state to state? joining us now from his magic wall is steve kornacki. steve, thank you so much for being with us. will you take our mind off the national polling number and give us a look state by state at how things are shaping up right now? >> yeah, sure. we got a whole bunch of brand-new state polls today. we can take you thr

l.a. times and usc tracking poll which has trump up five. which sets it well apart from the others and as you point out, you don't trust the methodology and part of the reason is that it is a very large sample to be sure, which is a good thing in a poll. it is likely voters which is also a good thing, as you could see there lv, but it is the same group of people that they go back to time and again and it is consistently throughout this entire cycle favored donald trump by several points. he is always farther ahead in the poll or less far behind than he is in any other. so that may -- and if that poll were not part of this, the average would be quite different. go ahead, larry, i'm sorry i interrupted you. >> that is perfectly all right. because you made a good point. go back four years. what was the real clear politics average showing four years ago? and i'm not criticizing them. i like them a great deal. but their -- they are aweek ahead of the election, they had romney up 1 percentage point over president obama. president obama won by four
