How Were the Polls So Wrong About Trump?
Bloomberg00:00 Frank, thanks for being back with us on Bloomberg TV and Radio. And I just wonder your takeaway here when it comes to whether or not the polls were adequately reflecting the reality in America Once again, doesn't it seem like polls underestimated Donald Trump? Well, okay, so if we keep looking at demographics here and what the future may hold, Frank, I look at Donald Trump's victory in Miami-Dade last night. It's it's unique to this candidate, but also to this time that it doesn't matter whether you're white, black or brown, It doesn't matter if you have trouble affording food to put food on your table, to put gas in your car or the health care you need in the housing that you want, then it doesn't matter what your ethnicity is. Now, Trump's greatest weakness is he didn't focus enough on prices, on costs and affordability, that instead he got sidetracked by issues that did not matter.
