They have Trump as being seen as less qualified, people being more worried about him, believing Clinton is better for the economy and so on only for them to vote for him.

Look at everything so far turnout might actually be down. It may simply be that Trump got his vote out and Clinton didn't.

Highlights
Popular Vote Is Still Very, Very Close

Checking back in on the popular vote, which is getting much closer: Mr. Trump has 55.7 million votes to Mrs. Clinton's 54.5 million, giving him a lead of 1.2 million votes nationwide.

But Mrs. Clinton may well yet pull off a popular vote victory — much of heavily Democratic California remains uncounted. California is also notorious for counting slowly, so it could be hours or even days before we have a preliminary popular vote total.
