Polls predicting Hillary Clinton would win the 2016 presidential election were “not wrong,” host of CNN’s “New Day” Chris Cuomo claimed during a Wednesday interview.
“The polls weren’t wrong. The popular vote went the way it was supposed to,” Cuomo said.
President Donald Trump couldn’t crack 40 percent in the approval polls Cuomo told former Trump campaign adviser Jason Miller.
“You have to look at those popular vote numbers as well,” Cuomo said and defended Clinton’s loss. He accused voters of not understanding basic polling numbers.
WATCH:
“I get that you’re making a point to an audience that may not understand the numbers the way you do, but you know that this was very tight,”Cuomo told Miller. “Clinton didn’t get her base out the way she was supposed to and he won in some key states where they didn’t put resource.”
Trump won because of his anti-establishment message and not because of Clinton’s incompetence, Miller said.
“He won because of this message that these Washington politicians did not like,” Miller concluded.
