View submission: i feel totally cynical about what's happening right now
The polling average by the end of the campaign showed Clinton up by about 3 points nationally. She won by about 2 points nationally. That's as close to perfect as you get.
Hillary actually outperformed her polling numbers in solid blue states like California and Illinois, and solid red states. The problem is that Trump outperformed in swing states, the ones that actually matter under the electoral college system.
The problem wasn't really the polling - it was pretty close. It's that the *models* (like the dumbasses at HuffPo or any MSM org) were generally awful and didn't understand things like that states that are similar will swing in similar ways (538's excepted).

Please be extra careful when invoking Satan's grandmother Hillary Clinton. We do not want her to come out of slumber and feast upon the adrenochrome of poor young souls.
