This tilt has persisted even though many pollsters adjusted their survey methodologies and techniques following their misses in presidential elections of 2016 and 2020.

President Donald Trump’s lackluster approval ratings may have cost Republicans’ chances on Election Day, according to CNN’s data analyst Harry Enten.

Sherrill won in the three New Jersey counties with the largest Latino populations—she carried Passaic by 15 points (Trump won by three points in 2024), she won Hudson County by 50 points (Harris won by 28) and she won Cumberland by four points, equal to Trump’s win there in 2024, according to NBC.

The poll, released days before the election, showed Harris winning Iowa. A lawsuit claimed the pollster committed fraud by publishing it.

Exit polls showed that runaway inflation loomed large in Trump’s victory over Democrat Kamala Harris. In an ABC News poll, more than two-thirds of voters said the economy was in bad shape. In a CBS News poll, three-quarters of voters said inflation was a hardship .

Two-thirds of Americans say that the country is "pretty seriously off on the wrong track," while just under a third say the country is moving in the right direction, according to an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll conducted using Ipsos' KnowledgePanel.

President Trump successfully got his lawsuit against pollster J. Ann Selzer and The Des Moines Register to land in Iowa State Court last week with “good strategy" by his legal team.

A federal court dismissed a lawsuit against pollster J. Ann Selzer over her pre-election poll showing Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump in Iowa during the final days of the 2024 campaign.
