How was MSM so wrong?

How did MSM get it so wrong? Calling it close or for Kamala.

Meanwhile the betting markets, Trump trades and X polls were showing win, and in many cases a clean sweep for Trump.

Calling it close


Current results show

51% Trump
48% Kamala

Thats within the margin of error. I say it was close.

300+ electoral votes, Senate, possibly the House, popular votes.

Perspective matters...

The point to understand is not that polling is a statistical art not an exact science. How can a poll of just a few hundred people accurately predict the voting intentions of tens of million of people? It relies on the poll sample to be random/unbiased/representative - but these are abstract not physical concepts. How do you test/measure abstractions?
