Polls do not ask everybody, they ask a small fraction of the population, a few thousand at most, who represent their demographics.Polls give a snapshot of voters' preferences, male and female, at the moment, so expectations have nothing to do with the results. Trump's support is clearly trending up and Harris' support is clearly trending down.
The secret to polling, is to match the responses against the expected voter mix. If women are voting at a 10% higher rate than they expected, then their numbers are 10% wrong.
