Why did pollsters like me fail to predict Trump’s victory?

America is being shaped irreversibly by a growing new majority of millennials, racial minorities, immigrants and secular people.

Did “shy” Trump voters upend America?

To understand what happened, you have to start with the demand for “change”. CONT.
