Those were predictions, not polls and yes, they were far off. Nobody predicted Trump could win the electoral college and lose the popular vote by 3 million. It's never happened before and for good reason as we are all now finding out (well, most of us anyway).

Predictions based on polls.
It's never happened before and for good reason
One of the big reasons was the change in California.
The polls were generally correct. 47 out of 50 states were predicted correctly, the national popular vote polls were also pretty accurate. What wasn't as accurate were 3 states, 2 of them were close with the exception being Wisconsin which was about 7 points off.
So, for the most par the polls were correct.
The polls were generally correct.
Not the polls taken all summer.
Great, now that we both agree the polls taken just before the election were likely to be correct than not.
Now, since you made the claim that the polls taken in the summer were not correct it's now up to you to prove it. Prove that during the summer the polls didn't accurately reflect the opinion of voters at that time.

Same as it ever was.
Weak. You've now already flip flopped on the accuracy of polls before the election and have now retreated back to the polls taken during the summer yet you can't back up your statement at all. Not that it's a surprise or anything.
