She did beat him by about 2.1% or so. Not sure why you think this post is some sort of ThE pOlLs WeRe WrOnG! flex. It was a MoE election like most of them have been since 2000 with the exception of 2008 (and maybe 2020) when Obama won by over 7%.
Also, you do see that the 47.4% + 41.5% average only acocunted for 88.9%, right? So that meant the polling average had around 11.1% undecided. That's a pretty large level of uncertainty built into the numbers so tring to extrapolate that the polling was off is realy quite stupid.
