Jake Tapper: Trump Win Would 'Put the Polling Industry Out of Business'

A Donald Trump victory in Tuesday night's presidential election could send pollsters looking for work, one network anchor said.

CNN's Jake Tapper said during election night coverage Trump has a "credible path" that could take him to the White House. If Trump wins the presidency, that would go against many of the polls that showed Democrat Hillary Clinton was leading entering Election Day.

"If this night ends up being the way that Donald Trump and his advisors think and hope that it will, it's gonna put the polling industry out of business, it's gonna put the voter projection industry out of business," Tapper said. "I don't know of one poll that suggested that Donald Trump was gonna have this kind of night that he seems to be on track to having."

Mediaite posted a clip of Tapper's comments.

Later in the segment, Tapper said, "This is not the repudiation of Donald Trump and Trumpism that I think a lot of Republicans in Washington D.C. and Democrats hoped. But beyond that, we're seeing a credible path for Donald Trump to the White House."
