Hugh Hewitt questions whether we should trust today’s polling numbers after major misses in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and elsewhere. With polls again showing razor-thin races in Georgia and North Carolina, the segment highlights why voters should be skeptical of polling models that have repeatedly gotten elections wrong. John Roberts and Steve Kornacki attempt discuss delays and technical issues in election-night reporting.
