Not to mention, after that polls Trump team even show his own internal that he was up by 5. Which was still be Selzer biggest miss and a Harris win. I feel like even Trump own team didn't expect them to win so comfortably

Yup, he definitely didn't. He was ranting about fictitious voter fraud in PA and trying to suppress the vote with threats of law enforcement well into the afternoon - a sure sign he didn't like what he was seeing at that point.

There was an article from Tim Alberta a few days before the election and the general vibe from his campaign was not a great one (they didn't think they were going to win)
