To be fair,
Are you referring to the 2020 election, where Trump "lost" the EC by a grand total of <50k votes in a handful of states, even though Biden was polling +7.5% above him nationally?
I ask because that stands in stark opposition to the 2016 election, where Trump won the EC by >110k votes in a handful of states because Hillary was only polling +4% above him nationally.
PS: Kamala is currently polling +3% above Trump nationally, and she's trending down.

Polling accuracy might be better or it might be the same but understating harris' support. Dems slightly outperformed in a bunch of key 2022 and 2023 special election races.
I think harris' support might be understated given that people are afraid to admit that the economy is ok. It seems like americans are now conditioned to just shit on the economy if their guy isn't in office (see recent WSJ piece on economy). But once they get in that voting booth, the truth will emerge.

The question is effectively how far in one direction will the polling miss be? It’s very hard to know, because we are dealing with a completely reshaped electorate post no excuse mail-in voting being offered in every state that matters. Also, we have two candidates who are completely unprecedented in different but equally meaningful ways. How big is the group of voters that supported Trump in 2020 but refuses to support him post J6/convictions/91 felonies? How big is the group of voters who in the end will never support Kamala because of her race and/or gender? How much will it matter that Trump is the oldest nom ever? Will Trump succeed in tying Kamala to Biden’s record, and is it really his record that drives away swing voters or was it primarily his age and the way he presented in public?
I feel confident saying that the polling error from 2020 will shrink, but if I was Kamala I would still treat the national popular vote like I need to be +3% to win.

Not a lib but here's what I'd counter:
1. Polls were much more accurate in 2022 so there's some thinking the anti-GOP balance has been corrected
2. There may be less "shy" Trump voters this go around. I think it cuts both ways - it's obviously good for Trump that Elon Musk, Theo Vonn, Logan Paual, Brittany Mahomes (and vicariously Patrick Mahomes and even Taylor Swift to an etent) are sticking up for Trump in a way he just was not supported in 2016 or 2020. However, the counter is that Trump may have more open support but less secret support...
