Actually the real problem is that the majority of these polls showed that Hillary would easily win the necessary electoral votes state-by-state.
National polls don't show that.State polls do but are cheaper, inferior,and often done by different polling companies,news stations and colleges.Look at the different pollsters between the state and national polls.I think people thought the popular vote winner would win because only 3 presidents in history had won without winning the popular vote.
