Obviously they could be wrong. Anyone who puts faith in polls after 2016 is not very bright.
Yeah, the polls in 2016 were just terrible...Clinton only won the popular vote (which is what polls predict) by 2.4%, not the 2 to 4 percent that most polls were predicting...

the entire PV delta was in NY and Cal and even in those states it came down to a few counties. Yes, Clinton won those two blue states, but she lost the EC by a large margin. Do we really want a few counties in NY and Cal picking our presidents? Do we really want 48 states to have no voice in it?
I am not advocating for the PV to choose the election, I merely pointed out that the polls were not a wrong as the sheep have been told.
Historically speaking, Trump's win in the EC was not large at all. It was in the bottom 10% all time for margin of victory.
This past election came down to 3 states, Wi, MI and Penn. Trump won those 3 states by less than a percentage point combined
