Same biased poll surveys the last election that had Ms. Clinton winning by a landslide, respectfully SYLVIA WYSS. Remember their signature line touted over and over from beginning to end by the mainstream media? "If the election were held today, the polls show Ms. Clinton winning handedly the election....".
The designed purpose was that if the mainstream media an polls were repeated over and over, the election would be seen as a slam dunk forgone conclusion Ms. Clinton was going to win, thus many conservatives would think it doesn't matter if they vote, and discourage them from doing so. 
It does work, which is why the 98% of mainstream media that supported Ms. Clinton employed them daily. But as we saw, the polls and mainstream media, with some like CNN even helping Ms. Clinton cheat debates, could not be further from the truth. The mainstream allowed itself to be owned by one side, and thus skewered the presentation of the election and their projections.
Who won? It backfired bigtime
