"Trump leads in these polls today yet the MSM including FOX keeps repeating that Clinton leads in national polls and battle ground states.... are they just behind or are the blowing smoke and forecasting rain while whizzing on our leg?"

They're reading whatever the millennial on the other end of the TelePrompter types in. They are obviously biased towards their own polls, no matter how badly the polls are done.

If the national polls using landlines and live pollsters are wrong, then state polls using the same technique can't possibly be correct, either. "Trump might win the popular vote, but he won't win The State of X" is wishful thinking.

Gallup gave up polling presidential elections after 2012. Since what had been the "gold standard" with a track record of presidential election polling going back to 1936 gave up, I wouldn't give much weight to polls using the same methodology.
