>The possibility of Trump winning does not exonerate the accuracy of the odds presented by polls. The odds were not correct, and the polling data was flawed.

If there are 10% odds of something happening and it happens after one event, that's absolutely not a reason to say the data points that generated the odds are flawed.

I'll clarify, to help.

The reason not to trust polling data presented today is that the probabilities presented in the past were not accurate.
