The most sought-after opinions this election cycle are from those who actually called 2016 for President Trump, against what the majority of polls and pundits had America believe about Hillary Clinton’s chances.
One of those people is former columnist, attorney, and pollster Matt Towery, who tried to retire from the polling business but got pulled back in. The Wall Street Journal caught up with him to find out whether he’s still confident Trump will win.
“I am,” he told the Journal, “and I’m increasingly confident.”
Towery said pollsters’ models are not good at “picking up the average guy on the street” and cellphones have made it increasingly difficult to get a representative sample, let alone from young people (who wants to pick up a call from an unknown number and spend 20 minutes taking questions, he asked).
