In the tempestuous 2016 presidential election, where Donald Trump’s victory stunned many, polls were often portrayed as unreliable. However, a new analysis uncovers a more nuanced truth: some polls accurately predicted Trump’s key gains in Rust Belt states, even if they underestimated his margins.

Delving into a trove of data, researchers pinpointed polls that anticipated Trump’s surge in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, revealing a confluence of factors that contributed to his success: economic anxiety, dissatisfaction with the political establishment, and a longing for change.

Despite their imperfect accuracy, these polls offer valuable insights into the forces that propelled Trump to victory, demonstrating that even in the most turbulent political landscapes, data can provide crucial signposts.

As Election Night unfolds, the pace of results reporting will vary across the country due to differing state laws and procedures. Here’s a guide to help you understand what key information to expect and when:

– Early Results: Around 7 pm EST, polls will close in several states, including Indiana and Kentucky. Expect partial results from these states around 8 pm EST.

– Key Swing States to Watch: Keep an eye on Florida, Pennsylvania, and Arizona. These highly contested states could be pivotal in determining the outcome of the election. Results from these states may take longer to report.

– National Projections: Major news organizations will make projections about the likely winner of the presidency based on early returns. However, these projections may change as more votes are counted.

– Full Results: Election results can take days or even weeks to be fully certified. Nevertheless, most major news outlets will provide up-to-date information throughout Election Night and the following days.
