Snowden, of course, was just going along with what experts were telling the world. TheTimeshad favored Clinton all campaign season until halfway through Election Night.

Many of them weren't as off as they initially appeared, at least according to...538, and there is already a good amount of evidence to suggest pollsters missed Trump's huge support among "whites without college degrees." And though many national polls may wind up having done a decent job predicting the popular vote (which Clinton is likely to win), they were off enough with respect to certain states that their Electoral College predictions seem to have been totally misguided.
Maybe it's more fair to say that political science, like any brand of science, is simply evolving to figure out how the world truly works.
