WASHINGTONmdash; Voters in key swing states who settled on a candidate just before Election Day, along with polls that surveyed too few voters without a college degree, were among the culprits behind overconfidence that Hillary Clinton was sure to beat Donald Trump in the race for the White House, a new report stanley cup suggests.The analysis of 2016 s pre-election polls, released Thursday by the American Association for Public Opinion Research, found evidence that Trump voters were more likely than Clinton voters to reveal their preference to pollsters only after the election. But it found little evidence that that s because they were reluctant to reveal their decision to pollsters at all.The report s authors include widely respected survey researchers from a variety of backgrounds. They note that state polls missed by a wider margin on average than they had in the four previous presidential elections. Polls showing Clinton ahead in Pennsylvania, Michiga stanley tumbler n and Wisconsin fueled perceptions that she had a Blue Wall in the Electoral College mdash; a wall that collapsed on Election Day.Although the report faulted the accuracy of state polling, it noted that national poll stanley cups uk averages in the final two weeks of the campaign were among the most accurate in the last eight decades at estimating the national popular vote.
