"They did fine in battlegrounds, but... they failed to provide the essential information that Trump was surging across the board," said Michael Bailey, a professor of political science at Georgetown University. The former president was well on his way to sweeping all seven states, according to those projections.

In Pennsylvania, the latest polling average from RealClearPolitics put the Republican in the lead by 0.4 percentage points. As of Wednesday, he was ahead by two points. In the most recent polls conducted by The New York Times with Siena College,"white Democrats were 16 per cent likelier to respond than white Republicans," NYT data analyst and polling guru Nate Cohn wrote two days before the election.Although pollsters like The New York Times/Siena tried to compensate for these flaws with statistical adjustments, it was clearly not enough.

Iowa was a prime example of this, with a poll three days before Election Day giving Harris a three-point victory in the solidly Republican state. In the end, Trump won it comfortably by 13 points, Azevedo said.
