密歇根新闻广播 特朗普胜选表明美国的投票风气难以泯灭

（单词翻译）

Many Americans were stunned¹ and blindsided by Donald Trump's victory over Hillary Clinton.

That's largely because months and months of polls pointed² to a defeat of our new president-elect.

Zach Gorchow, editor of Gongwer News Service, joined us today to talk about those polls.

"Polling has a lot of problems. It's just not able to model the electorate³ successfully, and that seems to be especially true in Michigan," Gorchow said. "It just flat out failed to model the African-American turnout correctly, it failed to model the rural turnout correctly."

Gorchow urged us all to take polls with a bigger grain of salt in the future.

"As reporters, we're trained to be skeptical⁴, you know, trust but verify everything. But … the one thing we tend to just sort of accept on faith is polls," he said.

"Hopefully this is the latest wake-up call, and hopefully it's a big wake-up call that we have got to just use this as one piece of the puzzle and not get so obsessed⁵ with it."
