It is a mistake to compare polling methods in the UK with those in the USA. The data on registered voters goes right down to local polling districts in the US, thanks to the primary elections system. They can determine which way things are going with a far higher degree of confidence. If Clinton has a 10 point lead then quite apart from it being well outside the margin of error for a British poll, you can be confident that the lead is real.
