The polls were very accurate at the national level and within a few points at the state level.

The same polls that predicted Hillary would win?

Most national polls reflected a preference for her of a few percent. Her popular vote victory was well within that margin of error.

But you already knew about the statistical peculiarity that was the 2016 Electoral College result, so I'm guessing you're repeating this hoping for some alt-right points on HN? Or just to demonstrate that public policy polling and statistics are somehow a big snake oil discipline that you're too intelligent to fall for?
