This election made me just not care about approval ratings or polls. They are totally just meaningless statistics for me now. Trump showed they don't matter
The polls were right though. Clinton got more votes than Trump. Trump saw chances for MI, WI, and MN and suddenly directed attention there the last few weeks. Clinton saw a chance for Trump in Michigan and ran there the Friday before the election. The media underestimated the electorate by thinking they wouldn't elect someone as morally bankrupt, unfit for office, and inexperienced as Trump. That's on them. The polls accurately predicted a close race.
