Polls are worthless, and can be manipulated to show the result the poll-taker wants. It's enough to phone 1000 people, 600 say trump and claim 150 of them mumbled so it doesn't count. The polls for Polish president were off by HUGE margins (like 10% on one of the candidates) in comparison to what the actual results were.
No one phones up some polling company and says "I would like to order a presidential poll", they phone them and say "I'd like a presidential poll where hillary (or trump) is in the lead, please!"
The right and far right are picking up *alot* of ground in Europe, and no reason to expect anything different in the US, especially when you can vote for only 2 parties whereas in europe the right wing votes can be spread out across several parties...
