National polls are designed for the popular vote, not the EC, and as such can be interpreted poorly for the presidential election. The polls weren't wrong, they actually predicted Clinton's popular vote win quite well. This does present a problem for Trump because these polls show a shifting public opinion which they need to change.
Doesn't the latest FiveThirtyEight poll Fred quoted consider percentage of people and not the EC?
