no, the polls were right, she won nationally by 2-3% just like the polls said she would, but we don't elect presidents that way so national polls aren't the thing to really pay attention to.  The state polls for PA, Ohio, Michigan and the like were MUCH closer...  sure, some coastal lefty elite media types over hyped the national polls to actually reflect the states. they were wrong to do that.

and polls this early are suspect anyway, they don't really mean much until the primaries actually start.

So, polls were NOT showing the bipedal pustule as the run away winner.
Got it.

good, at least we agree with something...  the polls were NOT showing her as a run away winner.  I can see how you think that, the mainstream media did a crap job of actually interpreting the polls correctly and yes, some got very exuberant about the chances of Hillary winning. and dude, enough with the pustule crap okay, sh!thead.  

the polls showed a 2-5 point spread nationally, and hey, she got 3....  check that out...


Poll Position: Where Clinton, Trump Stand on Election Eve

"
What do the polls say now?

As of Monday morning, polls show a modest lead for Hillary Clinton. She’s ahead of Donald Trump in the RealClearPolitics four-way national average (which also includes Libertarian Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein) by 2.2 percentage points and by 2.0 points in the two-way average.

Clinton also leads in state polls. If every state voted according to its RCP average, she would win with 297 electoral votes to Trump’s 241, surpassing the needed 270."

so, yes, some state polls were wrong, but nationally, on average, within the margin of error...    Remember Trump only won in the states he needed to win by very very very slim margins.

and please, don't overlook that I'm giving you that some media outlets, most mainstream ones for sure, were overly optimistic about Clinton's chances.
