Polls No Longer Have The Power To Predict Elections?

A Newspaper titled "Fraud at Polls" showing Charles Foster Kane's defeat.

Why do you even bother trusting the Polls?

Opinion Polls are a way to predict elections, and most of them, to be fair, their election predictions are often right, not at all of them. In the 1948 U.S. Presidential Election, the polls predicted a landslide victory for Republican New York Governor, Thomas E. Dewey, over Incumbent Democratic President, Harry S. Truman, but as it turns out, Truman won the election, quite unexpectedly, because of the elitist media and polling. This proves that not all the time Polls are accurate. However, in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election, where the polls show that Hillary Clinton would do well, well, actually, the polls predicted that Hillary Clinton would win the popular vote, and she did, despite losing the Electoral College, making Donald Trump the next president, the difference between 2016 and 1948 elections is the popular vote, Truman won the popular vote, but Trump did not, and the media inaccurately compared 2016 to 1948, ignoring the popular vote, showing how elitist the media can be, to be fair, 2016 was an upset, but the media failed to aknowledge the difference between the popular votes of these two upset elections, foolishly enforcing the populists' (on the political left and the right) frustration about media elitism.

In Massachusetts, in 2010, after Senator, Ted Kennedy passed away in 2009, the polls showed that Martha Coakley, the Democrat who sought to take Ted Kennedy's seat and finish his last term but she lost in an upset defeat to Republican Scott Brown, the first Republican since Edward W. Brooke to pick up a victory in the State of Massachusetts. Eight years later, it happened again IN ALABAMA in 2017, when Republican, Roy Moore the Judge was widely expected to win the Senate Special Election vacated by, Jeff Sessions. The polls fooled Trump-Moore Supporters (ironically) and were lost in time when Democrat, Doug Jones won the election, becoming the first Democrat since Richard Shelby (who became a Republican in 1994) to pick up a victory in DEEP RED ALABAMA. The question is, Why bother letting the polls fooling you. The polls are indicating that the Democrats will sweap the U.S. Congress in the 2018 U.S. Midterm Elections, it's possible because Trump is not a popular president, but how can we trust the polls? The polls also show that the Republicans will keep their dam, but how can we trust that too? 

It's not just in the United States, it's Worldwide, for example, in the United Kingdom, the polls and the media, because of Brexit, the Conservatives were predicted to win a landslide victory, only to lose the 326 seats needed for a majority and became stuck with a 317 seat plurality. The blame was on Prime Minister, Theresa May because she called the snap election to increase her majority to make it easier for Brexit to become a reality, now, with a Conservative plurality, it would be even harder to implement Brexit. 

If the polls don't have the power to predict elections, then who does?

The United States is still a Democracy, this election in 2018 is NOT up to the Pollsters, NOT up to the Commentators, NOT up to the media, NOT up to the Superpacs, it's up to the AMERICAN PEOPLE. We can only hope for the best or the worst, but this November, the media will see, the pollsters will see, the commentators will see, so will the voters.
