The pre-aggragation polls are more checkable, as their percentage can be compared to counted votes.

You could probably judge the aggregator's results somewhat, by comparing the actual difference between each poll and relevant vote count with the assumed error range and bias applied to it in the aggregator's formula, and see how much that affects the results.

The polls got the nationwide stats pretty accurately, but not some key swing states. Though, if the difference was within their margin of error, there's not much they could have done about that.

Of course, none of that matters on the gut level.

So you're saying feelings matter more than facts...
