Already in this campaign cycle we’ve seen the polls get it wrong. Notably, of course, the pollsters have ended up with serious egg on their faces in recent, past elections. But they’ve also dropped the ball well before that with Dewey vs. Truman as one of the most memorable in history.
Nonetheless, even for their weaknesses, the polls sometimes get things right. They also can provide a bit of a pulse on what Americans are thinking – if the questions are asked in the right way. So what are our proverbial fortune-tellers predicting for today?
Below is a list of the Super Tuesday states and what the latest polls that we could find are saying.
