That's how people interpreted the polls. But there were a lot of people who said that assigning a probability to the election was a foolish thing to do. Also worth noting that accurate national polls wouldn't have captured a Trump victory (since Clinton lead in the popular vote). You would need state polls, but they're not always accurate. Trump's win in Michigan was a big surprise, but so was Sanders' win in Michigan a few months earlier.
