Polling showed Bernie doing better vr trump.

Polling consistently showed Clinton doing better than Trump too. Before election night, odds from the best polling experts around put Trump at around a 20% chance of winning. In fact, before the Comey report, it was more like 95% that Clinton would win.

The problem is that people think odds are destiny. Yes, the odds-on favorite does usually win. But not always.
