Inevitably, Hoft cites the lone poll that has consistently shown Trump ahead:

If that poll was faulty from the outset, it’s showing itself to be faulty at each and every step along the way. It’s baked in a faulty result.

When every other poll is showing Trump losing by significant margins, for this one to consistently show Trump ahead means that it’s done something quite different and out of tune with every other pollster. That means this poll’s assumptions are quite different, and there’s no way to fix because they’re following the same group for the entire polling period.

Election Night will be a harsh reality for these people. Especially Hoft, who will quickly claim conspiracies are why Clinton won, instead of fact that Trump was historically awful and running against a historically well qualified candidate.
