How accurate are polls these days? If you can't call people with cell phones, you're forced to call landlines, and those are owned by septuagenarians and octogenarians who lean hard to the right. It's had an effect on the accuracy of polls, as the recently fired Nate Silver will tell you. His analyses used to be eerily accurate, but then cell phones happened.

Sometimes i think Trump is a conspiracy to make people question democracies, I certainly don’t think its good idea that everyone can vote anymore

Trump voters are some sick puppies, that's a fact.
