This averages out to Trump +3.3. Probably pretty similar in national polls, where we'll most likely wind up with an error in the 3.5- or 4-point range I think. — PolitiTweet.org

The error in non-swing state polls was often bigger than in the swing states (e.g Trump was way underestimated in states such as OK and WV) although those states didn't tend to attract a lot of high-quality polling. This was also an issue in 2016, FWIW. — PolitiTweet.org
