AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Right
Pollsters have once again underestimated support for President-elect Donald Trump.
A race that was thought to be dead even for months was called within hours of polls closing Tuesday night, as Trump is expected to defeat Vice President Kamala Harris in both the Electoral College and the national popular vote.
The final RealClearPolitics polling average had Harris with a minuscule 0.1-point advantage, while another polling aggregator, FiveThirtyEight, had her up by 1.2 points nationally going into the election.
