A trip down memory lane:
Donald Trump’s chances of winning are approaching zero
By Chris Cillizza and Aaron Blake October 24, 2016
"The election is in 15 days. And the electoral map just keeps looking grimmer and grimmer for Donald Trump."

that is a distortion of realty.
Rasmussen had clinton up 2 over Trump. (in other words they nailed it by your strange scoring method. But my method they showed the race was in the margin for error which is getting it correct.)
NBC had Clinton up .. They failed it. they had it outside the margin for error.
(this is based on the last poll on RCP... which is how you like to do things tony.)
You don't even want to talk about how bad NBC was before the unskewing.

NBC/WSJ Poll: Just 29 Percent Approve of Trump’s Firing of James Comey
by Mark Murray
Just 29 percent of Americans say they approve of President Donald Trump's decision to fire FBI Director James Comey, while 38 percent disapprove, according to results from a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. Another 32 percent of respondents don't have enough to say on the matter.
Yet among those who say they have read, seen or heard "a lot" about the firing, 53 percent say they disapprove, versus 33 percent who approve.
The NBC/WSJ poll — conducted May 11-13, after Trump's dismissal of Comey — doesn't show a significant change in the president's overall standing.
Trump's job-approval rating stands at 39 percent, which is one point lower than last month's NBC/WSJ survey — well within the poll's margin of error.
Thirty-eight percent of Americans hold a positive view of the president, while 52 percent have a negative opinion — again mostly unchanged from last month's 39 percent positive/50 percent negative score. (By comparison, the FBI has a 52 percent positive/16 percent negative score in the new poll, and Comey's is 18 percent positive/26 percent negative.)
And a combined 41 percent have a "great deal" or "quite a bit" of confidence in Trump as president, compared with a combined 57 percent who have no or "not much" confidence — again mostly unchanged from April's poll.
Thirty percent say Trump's decision to fire Comey has given them a less favorable impression of the president, versus only six percent who say they have a more favorable view; 61 percent maintain that the firing hasn't changed their opinion of Trump.
By party, 58 percent of Republicans say they approve of Trump's firing of Comey, while 66 percent of Democrats disapprove. Independents break 36 percent disapprove, 21 percent approve.
Seventy-Eight Percent Prefer Russia Probe Outside of Congress
Forty-six percent of Americans, including 74 percent of Democrats, say they agree with the statement that Trump fired Comey to slow down the FBI investigation of Russia's involvement in the 2016 election.
That's compared with 38 percent of respondents, including nearly two-thirds of Republicans, who agree that firing was due to how Comey handled the investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails.
A combined 65 percent say they have a "great deal" of confidence or "some" confidence in the FBI's ability to conduct a fair and impartial investigation into Russia's involvement in the 2016 election, versus a combined 40 percent who say the same of Congress.
And asked if they prefer Congress or an independent commission or special prosecutor to investigate Russia's involvement, just 15 percent pick Congress, while 78 percent support an independent commission or special prosecutor.
The NBC/WSJ poll was conducted May 11-13 of 800 adults - including nearly half by cell phone - and it has an overall margin of error of plus-minus 3.5 percentage points.
The last NBC/WSJ polls had Hillary +4 (4 way)and +5( 2 way).IIRC all of NBC/WSJ Polls had Hillary ahead for months prior to the election.
Rasmussen got it right at the end but for months prior to the election and the majority of their polls they had Trump ahead.Only 2 polls had trump ahead in most of their polls and one of them was Rasmussen
so according to the methods you espoused for years (prior to Nov 9 2016)
Ramussen got it right because they had the winner most of the time.
And even according to your other method of looking at the final polls Rasmuseen got it best.
And finally according to your new method Rasmuessen got it just about perfect because they new hillary would get a few more votes.
