Many times the MSM and polls have been flat out wrong. 1948, 1980, 2016 & 202

Remember: In 1980, Ronald Reagan was so far behind President Jimmy Carter in the polls a week before the election it was nearly a foregone conclusion that Carter would keep the White House. A week before the election, the polls showed Reagan down 8 points behind Carter.

But on Election Day, Reagan won a landslide 489-49 Electoral College victory over Carter. This is largely because Reagan was so strong during their single televised debate held a week before Election Day.

Truman won with 303 to 189 electoral votes, and the photo of him gleefully holding up the Tribune’s embarrassing front page is an iconic reminder that American elections are never predictable — and every vote matters

Of course, the most recent, significant example of why every vote matters is Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016.
