let me clarify, the polls were not off, but merely wrong, that's why they were right
polls don't just do that, they try and predict who will win using models that anticipate turnout. not all polls use generic all american samples, they use likely voter models, their models were off.
and you have no way of knowing that they were sampling representative populations as they were wrong. there is also non response bias and the shy trumper hypothesis. all this blah blah blah and all you keep on saying even though the polls were wrong they were actually right. i got to give you credit for that.
the polls were well outside the margin of errors in many states and these all went towards trump.
the error margin only applies if the poll is a representative sample of the population they wish to sample.
