Hilary did win. The popular vote. Which is really what most of the polls were tracking. 80,000 votes out of 130,000,000+ swung the EC. Aside from holding an actual election, no poll can get the margin of error down to that level. The polls were not wrong. They were polls.

History can't be retconned this quickly.
The polls were done state by state and showed Hillary with a substantial electoral college advantage over Trump.
These poll results weren't about reporting on the feelings of the electorate, they were about trying to influence them.
